This book is the Neutral Milk Hotel of /lit/. Everyone circlejerks over it but it's

SHITTY

HELL

Enjoy your wasted $30 bro. :3

Great book. It goes over the haters's heads which is why they hate it.

Actually, I think /lit/ is pretty divided on this one.

/lit/'s real hard ons are for Dostoevsky and Camus.

There are time when you have to follow the text as it snakes its way several pages forward, and back to where it started; when you'll be following footnotes that point to footnotes that point to footnotes; when the positioning of the text on the page itself is half the story. It's kind of a big deal.

Except neither of those authors fall into the shitty as hell class. Get out.
