Born and raised in Wanamingo, MN, David Brehmer drifted his way to Richmond, CA in 2005, where he lives with his wife, son, dog, and drums. His work has appeared in THE MACGUFFIN, HUMANA OBSCURA, GINOSKO LITERARY JOURNAL, and on beatnikcowboy.com. In 2012 he co-self-published with artist Jeannine Chappell, THIS HAS HAPPENED: WORDS AND IMAGES AFTER THE CRASH, which detailed their separate but parallel responses to the drunk driving crash that killed friend and bandmate Alex Chappell, Jeannine's son, and left David in the hospital for a month.

This is my first Pynchon, so maybe I'll try one of the more famous ones later, but this book was a little too taken with its own writing for me to care about the story. I gave it up. At this point in my life I'm tired of reading ostentatiously clever ...more
