The Poor Mouth: A Bad Story about the Hard Life by Ralph Steadman, Patrick C. Power, Flann O'Brien

1.0

Very rarely as witty or sharp as I was told it would be. It's good as a portrait of a particular situation in a particular world, but any stand-in for the church felt like a serious strawman even for the time the book was written in. I honestly just didn't enjoy or have the stamina to finish this (not even that long) book. Disappointing introduction to O'Brien.
