God dammit I'm reading this book now and I'm really enjoying The Navidson Report but every fucking time Truant starts writing it's so unbearably try-hard and edgy that I want to skip it but I can't bring myself to skip part of the narrative. I don't want to hear about his fucking wacky paranoia anymore

>he doesn't understand that the book is a maze and you have to differentiate which parts of it are dead ends that contribute nothing to the plot and which are.
I suggest you go back to reading YA.

I agree totally, everything about Truant seemed like a disingenuous attempt to make it a "postmodern" book by including totally contrived youthfulness and vulgarity alongside all the footnotes and scholarly references

Danielewski is a hack poser wannabe Pynchon. HoL is a pretty good Stephen King novel disguised as a "post-modern lit"

Without spoiling too much, how alright is it to skip the Truant passages? I'm only around 60 pages in so far, but it's like pulling teeth having to sit through another fucking short story about how HE'S EVEN PARANOID DURING SEX WOWOWOW ;D

unfortunately you gotta at least skim it to appreciate another, better section, and the book as a whole

quads don't lie

I'll take that into account, thanks!
