Never heard of it.
I'd like to know what you think of Infinite Jest, though (I assume you're into it seeing as how you made your custom user title Himself). Did you finish it?

I'll also interject: 'Still Life With Woodpecker' is not only my favorite by Robbins but also one of the best things to come out of late 70s/early 80s American fiction.
