Death Confetti: Pickers, Punks, and Transit Ghosts in Portland, Oregon by Jennifer Robin

5.0

How had I not heard about her or this book before? It's wild, it's manic, it's gorgeous and gritty. It's a spiritual sequel to The Least Cricket of the Evening, but with shorter passages and more drugs. I think it goes on about 20% too long (at least) and could use a bit less of the Trimet/MAX/bus observations, but after being in Portland for two days I understand the city and her writings a lot more. People on buses here are freaky. Anyway, this is a 9/10. This is an amazing book, but should be read in many sittings and returned to with time to rest.
