5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliantly realized satire of the meaningless of modern life, January 6, 2011
This review is from: Vampirella's Gangbang Sex Book Was About Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Kim Kardashian & Paris Hilton: It Wasn't Group Style Calendar Or Gangbanging ... Biography With Diamonds & Jewelry In Archives (Paperback)
Possibly the most engaging and important American novel of the past 150 years, Nigel Tomm's epic is a pointed and poignant satire of modern American life, written as only Nigel Tomm can. The incisive bitterness of Tomm's main character (known only as F.F.) creates a sense of corrosive banality while his abbreviated vocabulary represents the failure of modern society to move beyond its tribal mores and beliefs. Originally presented in serialized version in the Saturday Evening Post (with illustrations by the great Norman Rockwell), this classic of literature is regrettably out of print, even though it still continues to be taught in some college classrooms. Hopefully this superlative work will be available again both in book form and on Kindle, where it can break free from musty academia into the popular mainstream where it belongs.
