Edward ChampionSpeaking of William T. Vollmann, the poor man lost his daughter a few years ago, got prostate cancer, and can't get his epic one million word novel on the CIA published. (Whether he was completely cut loose by Viking is unknown, though I have heard contrasting stories.) But if there's any writer who should be tackling the present moment and who is qualified to do so, it's Wild Bill. Let the man publish anything he wants. Come on.
