What do you mean here, that he got less funny as he went on but bit by bit so no-one noticed?
In love with its self-importance and also its cleverness I would have said. I found that too much of a double-whammy to really enjoy the whole thing but yeah, I guess it was ambitious and that's got to be a good thing.
What would the book (of his) be where there are a couple and some kind of ghostly or imaginary child or something? I'm being pretty vague here I know but it was a while since I read it and I've no idea what it was called but I suspect you might.
I think he got less interested with wanting to be funny, which is a shame I think because White Noise is genuinely hilarious.
Is the book you are thinking of called Players? I might be wrong about that but it vaguely rings a bell from way back.
