Title: Nothing like it!
Review: This comic novel, set in the East Village of Manhattan, had me laughing right from the beginning. It may be read as a satire of the hippy generation, but I just find it incredible clever and ballsy. The protagonist's voice (who vaguely reminds me of Chong --from Cheech & Chong) is rendered perfectly. And it has an off-the-cuff, irreverent quality from start to finish that's exceedingly rare. It's a unconventional novel, unlike any you're likely to read. The only other book that comes to mind is Richard Perez's The Loser's Club, which is also set in the East Village, but even there the narrative is more straightforward being about a writer addicted to the personal ads. The Fan Man is the kind of a book which might be called a "cult classic" because no one who reads it will ever forget it. I strongly urge that you buy it! You'll laugh!
