Status Updates From The Wasties

"In my pre-wasties days I was an English professor, so I had an excuse for all the books, though the having and the reading somehow got confused back there somewhere."

"If matrimony and cohabitation can't guarantee happiness, it will at least give you things to shove out of the way at four o'clock in the morning when you're roaming lobster-like through your rooms and trying to fathom how it is that you and all the goddamned stuff managed to get here."

From the eyes of an observer one gets a literary tour of America. I am not sure if I think this is a good read but I have been entertained by the travels through literary form in time, also the comparison between gore and beauty and where the artist resigns.

A tad depressing but I like it. This author has a sarky sense of humor.
