• deeply personal, pseudo-autobiographical
• grossly funny and ironic
• a fantastical exploration of grieving something yo have not lost
• the story of an author “writing” a story about an author
• milk fed was not a favorite of mine, but the intimate and hilarious nature of death valley reached me
