Wallace mentions Omensetter’s Luck by William H. Gass (1966); Steps by Jerzy Kosinski (1968); Angels by Denis Johnson (1983); Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy (1985); and Wittgenstein's Mistress by David Markson (1988).
Perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of Reavey's literary career was his claim, made to the New York press and to British editor and publisher, Alan Clodd, that he had written The Painted Bird for Jerzy Kosiński.
In addition to the reviews and a coverage of San Francisco's small press scene, it offered interviews with such authors as Eric Ambler, Ann Beattie, Ray Bradbury, John Kenneth Galbraith, Herbert Gold, Elia Kazan, Jerzy Kosinski, William Kotzwinkle, Henry Miller and Paul Theroux.
An American novel, Being There (1970), by fellow Polish native Jerzy Kosiński, bears strong resemblance to the adventures of Nicodemus Dyzma.
