Review title: Perfect mix of pure fun and truly thought provoking, mind-bending art. A masterpiece!
Product review: One word explains it best: mindf&#$. The somewhat autobiographical, definitely bizarre, and extremely funny outpourings of a genius. The strings of the story sometimes appear to be hung in the air, attached to nothing, and yet when you step back you see how they interweave to form a work of true beauty, unparalleled in its time. And while such a description might make the novel seem like some arrogant art piece, I felt so connected to the well-defined characters that even when the story took a back flip or a bizarre turn I was still hung up in its net. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the novel is that it lingers with you. For weeks after finishing I found myself thinking and wondering about the characters, projecting futures for them, and then flipping my new endings on their head to see how that would work. Not light reading, you have to invest and dive in head first, but worth the effort.
