Mind-blowing facts

There is an unabridged audiobook of The Tunnel, read by William H Gass himself. I don't know that I really want to subject myself to such a thing, but still--holy shit, dude.

Update: seriously, this is nutty. Sure, maybe he could approximate the different fonts by shouting or something, but this is a book that includes: little comic panels. Musical notes. A concert ticket stub. Flags and other assorted insignia for the PdP. Two pages where the entire right side has crossword patterns running down it. A page with text arranged in a star shape. A page with text arranged in the shape of a wineglass. A page with text arranged in the shape of a whirlwind. A page with text arranged in the shape of a dick and balls. A page with the texture of a paper bag. A page with a picture of a tray covered with assorted calling cards. And oh so much more. I don't know how you're gonna convey that shit out loud.
