Like all that Beat nonsense, but not shitty.

Eleven stories narrated by a young recovering alcoholic, whose dependency has led him to crime, cruelty, and loss in the Midwest, depict the disparity of emotions that constitute the American experience.

A big fat nope from me. I just...did not get it. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I was reading this, and came out of it feeling icky and gross. This story collection offers a dark, gritty glimpse of the world through the eyes of a very unlikeable narrator and I just did not enjoy myself. And if there was a lesson that was to be learned from this narrator’s disastrous life, it went right over my head.
