Title: Garbage.
Review: Overblown, overwritten, and dripping with contempt for its subject matter, this is a triumph of stilted vocabulary over storytelling. Faulknerian? Please! Faulkner, like Toole, actually had some understanding of the human condition. Egolf can't write a female character and only barely a male one. People impressed by this need to read more. Another flash-in-the-pan, as a spoiled kid takes out his rage on the poor. Littered with racism, classism, and snobbery, none of which bother me half as much as Egolf's poor writing. Go back to school, kid, and leave Appalachia to the Appalachians.
