A great book perfectly capturing the struggles with the alternating madness and banality of life.It's also funny. Things like the throwaway lines about Morrissey or Munchausen’s had me laughing aloud: the dialog combines the exhausted humor of a night that never ends with the polish that a truly first rate writer brings.The book leaves off with no particular conclusion, moral or solution. But life goes on. And that – and this book- is as marvelous as any comet.
