Overview

Viscerally experience the nauseous, sweaty Got Junk world of rotting refuse juxtaposed with taut new leather couches and untapped liquor bottles--laughing your ass off the whole way through. It may not be Faulkner, but it teases with Jonathan Ames, slightly caresses with Augusten Burroughs, and makes out with Chuck Palahniuk. While the narrator, the author, begins as a somewhat annoying frat boy (of which the reader is reminded repeatedly), he evolves into a sympathetic and empathetic craftsman, both in his physical tasks and in his ultimate endeavor--writing. The strength resides in Acox's uncanny ability to relate to a readership raised on its parents' Springsteen but searching for meaning through Gonzo PhDs, MFAs, and editorial purgatories.
