Novelist, poet and dramatist. His novels were highly experimental, taking as their main subject his own life as a novelist and the nature of the novel. He employed a whole range of postmodernist narrative devices for questioning the boundaries of fact and fiction. The Unfortunates (1969) is notorious for being published in a box of 27 loose-leaf sections to be shuffled and read in any order, to embody in literal reading terms the haphazard, unreliable recollections of the narrator.
