Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery
4.0
This book is a combo of genres. Essays? Weird literary re-imaginings? Memoir-adjacent, for sure. a bizarre script from a sort of hellish, abstract version of House Hunters? indeed.
I could do without all the biblical parts, and i'm just not up on all the classics so i don't feel like i'm in on the joke with that stuff, but the rest of it: Daniel Lavery and I feel very similarly about Duckie from Pretty in Pink, and we would both comport ourselves similarly if we were to one day have abs. And now that I know about his theory of "T for T energy", i have been rewatching a lot of Addams Family and Steve Martin movies, and just reveling in some completely new perspectives.
