[Tom Ghostly]

there are good and bad experiences i've had with anti-novels, and the experiences i've had with this book are unfortunately among the more disappointing ones. if you read one or two pages of this book, you've actually already read them all. it's all very repetitive, there's hardly any coherent train of thought, & it feels like every other paragraph digresses into sex. it's extremely tiresome.
yes, this is on purpose, but does being intentionally unoriginal & repetitive make a good text?

i'm open for all kinds of experimental novels & willing to work with them, but there wasn‘t much to harvest here.

but hey, some people seem to enjoy it.

Zig gets lucky quite a lot. Zig is not afraid to fill you in on the details.

This stream-of-consciousness novelette flows well but is not quite in the 'Ego Death' category.
