review:
Lipsyte's writing is a bit like a cross between Raymond Carver and Mark Leyner. It's got the darkness, the working-class losers and fuck-ups, and it's got the wacky, the zany, the extreme ADHD-style phrasing. It's hilarious and depressing at the same time. Like life.

review:
In tone this reminds me a lot of American Psycho, only without the ultraviolence. In its dispassionate, dry delivery of the events of the story, it also is reminiscent, to my mind, of Shoplifting from American Apparel. In a way, it's even more poisonous than American Psycho, because the book is even less obvious that it's making a point and that it's a sort of satire, and that as has become increasingly clear, there will always be some audience members of a satire dumb enough to think it's earnest, no matter how obvious the satire appears.

Hence I have mixed feelings about this. How many young men have already read this novel, earnestly, and absorbed its toxic messaging as reinforcing how they think of and treat women?

A lot of very topical and important stuff. The Baffler continues to be excellent.

review:
One of the best graphic novels i've read.

I wish it delved more into the background story of the Free States uprising. This final volume got into that a little, but not nearly enough to quench my thirst.

The posited situation is too similar to current circumstances to not be important to us all.
