This is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and House of Leaves meets my own memory of sitting in my high school lunchroom where the TV glowed with videos of smoking skyscrapers and falling bodies. The stream-of-consciousness rambling of this book takes a confusing and winding approach to revealing three generations of stories in scattered pieces of multiple characters' thoughts.
