Summary: if you can find it....
Comment: after reading "geek love", i spent several years searching for dunn's earlier, out-of-print novels. until today: stumbled upon 'truck" in a used store! been reading all afternoon: daring fiction, fascinating characters (of course), and i am left wondering why ms dunn is not more widely recognized...her writing is even more experimental and adventurous here than in geek love (far as language and structure are concerned)...few writers can pull off a forty page paragraph, compelling all the way through.

Summary: See how far Katherine Dunn came to write Geek Love
Comment: As a huge fan of Geek Love, I read both Truck and Attic, Dunn's earlier works. It's clear from reading Truck, the account of a boyish runaway girl, that Dunn came a long way in learning how to structure a narrative. The main character in Truck seems loosely based on Dunn's own childhood. The characters are compellingly physical-- they do things that real people do, like check their pits for smell, that people in books rarely do. They are polymorphously perverse. The plot is not terribly engaging, but you either sympathize with the characters or are disgusted by them; Dunn doesn't leave much room for simple apathy.
