In their obsessions, Gass’s Midwestern dreamers are like the "grotesques" of Sherwood Anderson, but in their hyper-linguistic streams of consciousness, they are the match for Joyce’s Dubliners.

Gass (born July 30, 1924) is an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, critic, and former philosophy professor.
