I think Disturbing the Peace is most underrated. I didn't see the movie. If there are no vampires, or tennis players, I usually don't watch things. A lot of his fans and former students made sure his work didn't die out. There's one famous essay by some young fancyish writer floating around the web that was purportedly "the start" of his comeback. But really, it was a group effort. He has a daughter too, (he has three, but one more involved) who kept his work alive. If you read the bio, A Tragic Honesty, you get an idea of what he was dealing with in his life- Anatole Broyard, for one. It's a great read if you are an obsessive fan, like me.

I love Yates-even his”lesser” books. I think Disturbing the Peace is most underrated. I didn’t see the movie. If there are no vampires, or tennis players, I usually don’t watch things.

(Still haven't gotten around to reading it, sorry to say.) I wonder what exactly pushed it into the spotlight...

I love it. Sometimes I sort of feel this way about Richard Brautigan, even though I've obviously helped the people trying to bring him back--still, part of me loved the days when I could say In Watermelon Sugar and receive mostly blank stares, or else the secret RB handshake, like when the early Christians used to walk around with fish symbols painted on their chests so they could recognize each other. but for some reason I never felt this way about Barthelme. I've only ever wanted him to have more readers, and be better known and loved. I actually think that's more or less happening now. This is a kick-ass post. I love it.
