I Should Have Stayed Home by Horace McCoy
4.0
This reminded me of a pulpier version of Nathaniel West's Day of the Locust. For much of the book I expected the narrator to wind up gunned down in a swimming pool by the end. Was surprised that he wasn't. It's a rough read, grim and cynical, but if you look you'll find some diamonds in it. Well worth it.
