arguably *the* lit book of the summer. slightly unhinged at places where it could be tightened up more, but pretty amazing still

>>24519443
Is it better than f Gardner

>>24519634
Yea by a long shot.

>>24518584 (OP)
How about you keep your ad in the ad space where I can't see it, mmkay

NTA but It’s about 3 people who manage to find themselves in increasingly absurd situations.Two work at a dump and the other works at Pal-Mart (idk why author did this but it’s what he calls wal-mart). 1 steals drugs from the cartel, the other is the victim of an online libtard smear campaign, and the last one accidentally crushes a man in the trash compactor at the dump.

The writing is honestly pretty humorous but it gets dark quick. There’s some memorable scenes and the ending ties it all up pretty well. Definitely has some Vonnegut meets 4chan chud vibes but without being too on the nose to feel like some /pol/ tier bullshit about fascism or white nationalism

Might cop

Is it better than Chuck Palanhukcu?

>>24522268
Yea I’d say so. I’ve only read Choke by him and it’s amazing anyone even published that smut.

How long does it take to read would you say? I might give it a read tomorrow afternoon ideally would prefer to do it in one sitting as I don't like reading things on a screen.

>>24523391
Two hours or so. It’s 160 pages in print but I think the margins are whack so it looks bigger than it is

>>24523383
Wallace here. I don’t mind if people read it for free. Lord knows I’ve taken enough books off libgen.


Just ask that if you read it and liked it to leave me a review or start a thread here with your feedback. This is my first novel and I’m working on a second that I think is much better written and more serious so I would appreciate any and all feedback

>>24523542
does the second one have the dog in it?

>>24523596
No unfortunately lol.

>>24523627
this upsets me verily

>>24523542
>r start a thread here with your feedback.
this is the thread, fren

>>24524765
Sure, but this one probably won’t be around in a day or two

>>24523542
Buy an ad

>>24523383
WHy is this epub such low quality? even the author name is wrong

>>24518584 (OP)
Stupid title and pretentious pen name. Pass.

>>24527226
Nta but someone probably converted a pdf to epub without any other considerations

Decent dialogue

>>24527335
I dunno. It doesn't sound like the right vernacular for a pal-mart worker reading at 8th grade level when he was 17

>>24527630
Actually in the book, the speaker here is an alcoholic guy who works at the dump and gets involved in drug running. He's talking to a 'Pal-mart' worker chick.
Albeit your point might still be valid here, where the dialogue seems a bit more speech-like than colloquial.

Although I have to say that, despite a few flaws, I liked the book. It reminded me a bit of the absurdism of a Coen brothers movie, ala The Big Lebowski or Raising Arizona, combined with maybe the influence of something like Cormac McCarthy's The Counselor, though who knows if the author even saw/read any of these. I liked that fact that he kept away from cheap stereotypes - the Mexican drug lord isn't a nice guy, but he's a human being and not Mr. Evil, a woke Karen-type narcissist is presented as an actual human and even a bit sympathetically, with problems of her own. And there was a bit near the beginning where the sound of a loser's crap car accelerating was described as like 'a rat screaming.'

>>24527630
That character is a 40 something alcoholic. I agree it’s a little verbose given the characters circumstances but I agree with what >>24527705 said. Felt like a literary coen brothers film
