I began this years ago, but was in the wrong headspace. This time around I flew through it, and it was a joy. It’s best read without trying to analyze or track the threads…trust the book to take you through the times and characters. Enjoy the ride, and the humor and absurdity will find you. Big Angel is an absurdist, and it shows in the humor.
