AUTHOR: Sam Pink
READ: September
THOUGHTS: Really liked this. I think S. Pink 'steps up' the thing that he is pursuing w/ this one. The use of the second person is both impressive to me and well used. The narration style seems to be more of the same, w/ the 'absurd' thoughts/hypotheticals toned down a bit, which I think is for the better, because the aimlessness, shittyness, and 'despair-as-humor' works just as well without them. What I really liked was the very obvious (yet somehow implicit) interaction b/w the main character, which here I presume is really someone incredibly similiar to Sam Pink, and people that are not white and have come from suburbs. Someone should probably write about that.
