jon_doyle's review against another edition
Imagine Murray Jay Siskind and Jennifer Egan teamed up to write the perfect post-Infinite Jest, pre-9/11 novel, only for it to be released seven days after the towers fell.

i don't know how to properly define it or explain it. it's meant to be about trendspotters and the way consumer culture affects everything. it's so far beyond that. it's almost a book about life. trandessence.
it left a mark on me because it's so true in such a grotesque way. they try to market anything new, foresee the new trend that will not only affect fashion, but lifestyles. it's about affecting the entire person. everything
reminds me of genuine feelings. such an awkward story, an awkward love, an awkward job position. it's all just a little unsettling - but the conclusion is so peaceful. all just very peaceful.

I was lukewarm on the plot, but enjoyed the writing itself. The discussion of "post-irony" seemed oddly relevant given the recent election. I highlighted a few passages dealing with alienation and detachment that resonated with me.
