The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker

3.0

From a formatting perspective this was an interesting read, the footnotes take you into the main character's thoughts and branch off into divergent topics from there providing a layered stream of consciousness narrative that was quite fluidly executed. The thing is I could not bring myself to care about the actual contents of the main storyline or the narrator. A lot of waxing poetic about pretty much everything the narrator encounters in the short span of this book that made it quite a tedious read despite the short length of the text. It was objectively well written, but not a narrative I personally enjoy.
