Anybody else really impressed by this?

It's only 32k words long but delivers so much. The comedy, the characterisation, the Camus reference, the memorable sentences. He was rejected by over a dozen publishers before someone took it on, I can't imagine it would be published in 2015.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 21 06:31:27 2015 No.7142802 >>7142793 You've basically described Burrough's Cities of the Red Night, if it were only a bit less mystical
