first 3/4 of the book: critique of the vapidity of LA/socal social culture, a bit dry in the way that windless, hot summer days are.
last 1/4 of the book: the most depraved shit you’ve ever read.

Completely devoid of feeling. Apathy is contagious. As I read, I felt increasingly distant. It’s a horribly brilliant book.
