@raviddice is producing *extremely* good fiction and yet doesn’t have a wiki page. Try the short story collection Drifter first, then the opus Angel House, then the masterful The New House. How lucky we are to have art like this …

“Hi,” says Vlado, the new helper, sent here to oversee the end phase that Tobin can’t possibly oversee on his own. “I’m Vlado, the new helper.”

And don't miss the MADNESS episode: strange fates of several real figures referenced in the book, and the stories of one Pynchonian figure who may have proved ESP in the SHADOW TICKET era (J.B. Rhine) and another (Moritz Schlick) whose work made such things unmentionable in intellectual society. Here's a preview:
