The Smiths' Meat Is Murder by Joe Pernice
5.0
That joke isn't funny anymore...
I give this book 4.5 stars. I mean it is good. It is the perfect length for what it is doing, it is a fast read, a couple of hours. It is suppose to be a representation of what it was like to grow up in the era of the smiths, but it felt more like what it is always like to grow up. It seems to be an attempt to deal with death, mainly suicide.
and from my reading the book truly ends up being about "the joke" which is perhaps a metaphor for many other things.
