My point was for all the talk about Barry being out-of-print, he’s actually more in print than most writers–I’m saying Morgan Entrekin at Grove/Atlantic has kept a hugely important but not very commercial writer in print to the tune of six separate titles. That’s exceptional and Entrekin deserves some credit–not the weird notion that Barry’s somehow been let down by his publisher or some damn thing.

I walked into two bookstores today that had Barry’s books on the shelf–and I’m not in the South. I’ve read every damn book but Nightwatchmen–and I like The Tennis Handsome more than most, I’d guess. It’s probably my Hey Jack!

But I don’t actually think putting everything in front of everybody is actually the way to make sure that people who don’t care (as much as you or I do) want the books on shelves for the long haul.

drew the only problem with that is, one man’s “lesser works” is another man’s “greatest book of all time.” you could feel perfectly happy having Captain Maximus being folded into a larger Collected Works, but i’d rather come to Airships, Captain Maximus, Bats out of Hell, etc. on their own. each is distinctly barry, but barry at a different stage, barry with a slightly different ammo.
