5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful work, March 21, 2001

This review is from: Unfortunate Incidents (Paperback)
Gancarski's book came highly recommended to me, and I opened it with a certain skepticism; after all, the stories of his utter debauchery are legend throughout the Washington area. Nonetheless, I found that The Ganc approached his subject matter with the blistering prose and searing insight of Henry Miller. There are times, however, when he gets beyond irony, hipness, and love of language to write pieces that are at once powerful and beguiling.

1.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Gancarski is a self-important blowhard, December 13, 2010
This review is from: Unfortunate Incidents (Paperback)
Gancarski is a self-important blowhard who should throw himself off a bridge. When he's not contradicting himself with his myriad of dreamed-up assertions and other assorted flights of fancy which often leave readers asking "how do i get x-amount of time of my life back after wasting it reading this dickhole?", the pseudo intellectual, oft-condescending dildonian Gancarski can be found arguing online with other dateless wonders like himself via pro wrestling discussion forums.

This book isn't suitable for wiping your arse-piece after even the most heinous of bouts with diarrhea.

5.0 out of 5 stars all hits, all the time, March 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Unfortunate Incidents (Paperback)
Damn, I love this book more every time I read it. Complex writing, post-millenial in scope and in language. I can only imagine where Gancarski will go from here....
