THE DISTURBING WORLD OF A GENUINE TALENT by RICHARD SUTHERLAND American writer William Vollman has had enthusiastic endorsements by critics on both sides of the Atlantic. His unembarrassed preoccupation with taboos like prostitutes and weapons, and his ambitious and prolific output have combined to give him an intriguing, albeit disturbing, reputation, all at the tender literary age of 34. This would all be so much hype if Vollman wasn't, in the first place, totally sincere in his interests and an extraordinarily talented writer. Up to now Vollman's books have been unreasonably hard to find in Canada but with a new American publisher, Grove, Vollman hopes that his new book Butterfly Stories will make him a little more familiar to readers here. A hallucinatory and harrowing account of a search for love through the brothels of Bangkok and Cambodia, Butterfly Stories is a disturbing book. Vollman is well aware of this and, given his reputation, is unexpectedly conciliatory about it. "In a way I feel a little shy about having that one the first one of my books to be widely available in Canada," says Vollman over the phone from his home in Sacramento. "I could imagine that a book like that might bother a lot of people and I don't really want to offend anybody."

Vollman, William T. An Afghanistan Picture Show: Or, How I Saved the World A fragmented mixture of William T. Vollman's experiences travelling to Afghanistan in the early 1980's as a Young Man and his later reflections as, presumably, an Old Man upon the attitudes he held as a Young Man. The "Picture Show" in the title refers to the fact that he dragged several cameras along with him, although none of the photos he took ended up in the book. Parts of the writing are fierce and unimprovable ("Preface", "Alaska", "The Red Hill"), although the book is prone to drag in its middle third, through fragmented memoirs of being extremely ill in Pakistan, waiting for a chance to cross the border. The Young Man was idealistic beyond his means, The Old Man is cynical and I don't know that his adventures or writings after this had the samespark of nobility, however misguided, of the 22-year-old who went to Afghanistan to fight the Russians. From what I know of William Vollman's career, prolific writer-adventurer and scholar of the underbelly, I am nostalgic for that Young Man. Saving the world takes work, and you can't do it by responding to the latest headlines. "And if he had been a Soviet Young Man, he would have gone to Nicaragua."

Vollmann, William T. (b. 1959) Metafictional novelist and near-suicidal journalist. Vollman's prodigious body of work explores the harrowing lives of the world's underclasses. To write his fiction, he immerses himself in his subjects' lives; he has lived among prostitutes and street peoplesmoking crack, having unprotected sex, and getting burned by lit cigarettesin San Francisco, New York, and Southeast Asia. Occasionally he feels compelled to act as well as report: In Thailand he abducted a child prostitute from a brothel, purchased her from her father, and enrolled her in a vocational school in Bangkok. For Fathers and Crows, the second volume of his acclaimed Seven Dreams series (1992), Vollman spent two weeks alone in the North Pole, the better to empathize with an ill-fated 19th-century explorer. On May 1, 1994, while Vollmann was on assignment for Spin magazine in Bosnia, the car he was in drove over a mineFrancis Tomasik, the driver and Vollmann's friend who was acting as a photographer and interpreter, was killed. Vollmann writes obsessively, often 16 hours a day, subsisting on candy bars; a resulting case of carpal tunnel syndrome forced him off computers and into notebooks. His CoTangent Press produces ornate, limited-edition books that are made from such materials as steel and marble and feature illustrations and etchings by the author.

Looking for a new Job? Visit JobLink THE ATLAS by William T. Vollman, Viking, $29.95. By Carlos Cunha, Standard-Times books editor In one of the reportage-based short stories in this book, a Bosnian woman tells the writer's character that he understands nothing. She is right. William T. Vollman understands nothing. He writes about everything but understands nothing. It's not that Mr. Vollman's stories are devoid of understanding. They have that as they have pretty much everything, just about every device to which a literary writer has ever resorted, and some new ones of his own. But everything in his work, including what understanding you might find in it, is just that: a literary device. Which makes his creations curiously vapid astonishingly vapid, in fact, given the formidable subjects he takes on, subjects he travels the world and its history in search of, which he notoriously risks life, limb and the more intimate parts of his anatomy in search of. He searches for them, finds them, but then, rather than turn them into literature, rather than penetrate and mine them for literature, he drapes over them a tapestry of vapid literary reflexes. It is an occasionally very beautiful and occasionally very ugly tapestry, but if either its beauty or ugliness ever achieves poignance, it's a poignance that comes not from what it says but from its almost tragic failure to say it, from the pathos of its improbable vapidity. Mr. Vollman is the writer as a kind of idiot savant: he is a savant of literary form but a mere babe in his grasp of significance. He never really says anything, understands anything, illuminates anything, gets at the heart or soul of anything. He is always only writing.

An Interview with William T Vollmann By Larry McCaffery Larry McCaffery: In one of your biographical statements, you emphasize your absorption as a kid in booksthis sense of riding on the magic carpet with the caliph, and so on. Did inhabiting these exotic places so long and so deeply in your imagination have anything to do with wanting to actually visit them now that you're grown up? William Vollman: My primary world is just this one basic "dream world" that I've been in from the time I was a kid. All these worlds that I see and write about are equally real and can coexist, so it's not like I have to leave my own world in order to inhabit them. That's my ability, I guess. But this also means that these different worlds are also equally unreal , so I can't take anything too seriously. None of them take precedence over any others. The truth is, I get kind of bored with a lot of ordinary people. It's not that I think that I'm better than they are (if anything, I think they're probably better than I am, because it's easier for them to be happy and just live their lives, whereas for some reason I don't seem to be happy just living my life; it always feels like I'm looking for something new, not ordinary). Given that predisposition, I try to find people who don't seem familiar. This oftentimes puts me into something like that dreamworld I experienced as a kid, because the more extreme and exotic the experience and the more difficult the people, the more I learn, and the less remains that's not ordinary. Then even the process of searching for the exotic becomes a habit. Like a dream.
