You Bright and Risen Angels, Europe Central and The Royal Family for his fiction, the 7 Dreams series is great, so you can start with whichever one interests you the most, The Rifles is my personal favourite

i just looked up europe central on amazon (the free preview) and the first sentence describes a telephone as being "squat". am i wrong to find this both pretentious and stupid? what kind of description for a telephone is that? does it not sound like he's trying to hard to sound "literary"?

The Ralph Mannheim translation of Journey to the End of the Night from New Directions has an afterword from Vollman that starts with "Fuck you" and goes off into a tangent about US politics. It was the most juvenile, retarded shit just tacked on to the end of one the greatest novels ever written.
