Happy Hour by Marlowe Granados
3.0
A solid, perfectly decent read. Doesn't try to be anything it isn't, yet still adds compellingly to the dialogue of urban ennui and the dynamism of young women which the male ego is so often so eager to deny and repress for its own survival.
Not that there isn’t anything wrong with but I think the narrator exhibits a kind of self consciousness of the duality of her experience (the constant interplay between the rushes of hedonism and the awareness of a deep nihilism which drives it) that means that even the themes I think are poorly explored, at least, still offer a deep enquiry into the zeitgeist it both criticises and aspires to (just as Isa does)
