This book is like Mad-Men meets American Psycho. My favorite parts of this book are some incredible passages, like a party for his parents' he attends, and a part where he's calling all sorts of people up on the phone, were the narrative just races in a hilarious way. He's bopping back and forth, so sarcastic and witty but he just flies. And this isn't one of those prose poem books where it's hard to figure out what the heck is actually happening but written in a fairly straightforward literal manner, which makes it accessible and fun.

The plot concerns a Mad-Men esque character (and make no mistake, much of the references are very dated from the 70s), who talks about himself a lot and his history. I mean there is a threadbare plot about taking a road trip out west but most of the story is centered on the protagonist's life, in New York, and his history (like how he grew up).

As I said before, I really liked the writing. He sometimes reaches for the profound, which doesn't always succeed, but the best parts are the sarcastic and the ironic.
