Has anyone actually read this? I'm about 200 pages in. It is unlike anything I've ever read and I've read pretty much every meme post modern book book out there.
Not sure if I like it or not but I think that's the point. The writing is God level regardless.
I've only read Omensetter's Luck by Gass. Is it along the same lines (stream of consciousness, character based psychological dramedy)?

It's actually a lot different, more so than I expected.
It's hard to explain how it's written. The main character is basically just writing down his thoughts and memories about everything in his life. It's kind of like being in the mind of the "protagonist" so I guess in theory it is stream of consciousness but not completely bat shit like the furber parts of omensetter

Yes, it's one of my favorites. And you're right--you're not really supposed to like it; instead, you're supposed to see some of yourself in it.

Definitely. For some reason I thought it would be more difficult to read. At 200 or so pages in id say it's been easier than omensetters luck.

For the most part it is, though there are a few parts I had to reread.
