Summary: what a weird trippy book
Review: well, it is hard to describe this book because it is literally unlike anything i've ever read. i can't even say that it's one of the best books i read because it is so original it defies the "good/bad" labels. it is truly weird beyond belief and it is occasionally difficult to understand the plot through a style that goes beyond satire, paranoia, fantasy, insanity, and identity reversals and double-reversals. for example, i have never before read a book where you don't find out until halfway through the book that the protagonist is a fat dwarf. among other things, this is one of the most subversive books written about the yuppiefication of the young american soul
