You are probably right.
How far Can You Go I found amusing because it was essentially pulling apart a lot of religious, specifically Roman Catholic, dogma and I was probably at callow stage in my life when that felt a useful stance to take.
Therapy has a place in my memory I find hard to address too rationally - at the time I read it, I was going out with a female Methodist Minister who had studied Kierkegaardian philosophy at University, and I remember the discussions at 3 in the morning taking something of the spontaneity from the reading experience.
Deaf Sentence felt rather sad as it obviously reflected a personal descent and although there were interesting insights I wasn't sure they made a novel.
Thinks - you know... I read it and meant to read it again to try and discover what it was I missed, but somehow I've never got round to it. It felt a little gratuitous and self-consciously reworking old University tropes from his other works.
I'm glad I read the other things but it was the three in my first post that make me remember his work with great affection, if only for Maurice Zapp and Perrse McGarrigle.

I'd like to meet Fulvia Morgana for a weekend, myself.
