His book <b>The Fan Man</b> is a secret classic, and his more recent novel <b>Fata Morgana</b> has been incredibly favorably received and compared to the work of Borges. But yes, he also started writing quirky childrens books late in his career and has been enormously successful with the Walter the Farting Dog series, which includes a number of other books which have Walter farting in different situations, and has been translated into many different languages including Latin.
