I read The Double and think that Bill's description of his
short stories
works for the novel as well. The reviews were mixed in the
the journals
I use to select material. It certainly isn't a traditional
mystery. I
did think there was a bit too much male fantasy sex stuff
going on - but
the book does have a certain quirky and fantastical bent. It
reminded
me a just a bit of William Browning Spencer's latest book
Irrational
Fears (more lovecraftian). I think I like Irrational Fears a
little
better over all, but it is categorized as fantasy.
Webb has quite alot stuff online, and this interview is
