This volume contains all of his almost-finished novel "The Narrative of Arthur Gordan Pym," the reading of which should expel those who opine that ERP was not a novelist. If this is not a novel, then what is it? Pity he dkidn't finish it. This is the second time around fully reading it, line for line, and i am just as disappointed when that huge human shape looms from the mist and that is the last sentence. ( )
