Beautiful book. Nimble language with lovely callbacks that elicit the protagonist’s mindset. Didn’t need the narrator gimmick, but I liked it okay.

This is the literature I expected to come out of the MFA program. This is what I wanted the countless workshops to breed. I fucking loved reading this book. It also helped me realize that I am really grateful you don't have to be talented to write. Because this novel seethes with hard work. It was written, edited, reedited, felt, percolated, structured, in ways that writers who are only talented fail to do. Which I'm pretty glad for. Lucy deserved more, though.

Noir mystery with a stoner protagonist set in the sixties. So much to love, between characterizations and setting descriptions and the language in general. The acid trips are particularly entertaining.

This book is weird and lovely and detailed and completely WTF sometimes and I love it. I love that I didn’t understand it all, I love that it might be a crazy person story, and I love the randomly inserted mind blowing prose, like that passage about the deaf ball. Maaaaaan.

I haven't been this excited while reading a book in ages. I love how the author doesn't judge his characters. And how you can see the subtleties in his prose and plot, which can only be the result of multiple rounds of editing and reediting. Great characters, plot, motifs and theme.
