Accepting Gravity
Methamphetamine. A severed hand. Holidays. Hallucinations. A woman with blue skin. President Trump. Cannabis. Existential crisis. Tarnec beetles. A pool of blood. An abusive father. An absentee mother. Christianity. Heroin. A talking ear. Climate change. Alcohol. Human-sized cockroaches. Guns. The end of the world. And a “Jerry has the answers you seek.” This non-linear Alice in Wonderland-on-meth combines horror, mystery, philosophy, and surrealism to tell the story of a broken beast of a man struggling with his demons, both real and imagined, throughout a grim 2018 in the dark underbelly of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Don't expect any correlation to other famous accounts of Vegas through a lens of unrestrained drug use- this is more Kafka than Gonzo. I really like the author's own description, as "...non-linear Alice in Wonderland-on-meth..." really hits the nail on the head. It's a good, dark (but also wryly funny) metaphor for a lot of the garbage being shoveled our way on a daily basis. Accepting Gravity is a good read, and I recommend it.
