When's the sequel coming out?

Wes, a character given only a tiny role by Dorsey, is easily the most fascinating and engaging character in the book, and arguably in the literature of the 20th century. Forget Cahill. Bring back Wes!

The Cost of Living is a truly great read.

If you want to do yourself a real favor, get a copy of David Dorsey's new book, "The Cost of Living" (Viking - August 1997) It is an awesome novel and shows a whole bunch of folks wrapped up and pushed around by the mystery of their "feelings", "emotions" and interesting behavior. The story is great, his prose riviting, his discriptions vivid, and metaphors stupendous. You will only think this is bias until you read the first chapter
