sometimes, it is hard to tell if the violence is intentionally absurd to demonstrate how wayward and desensitized this fictional world is, thus a caricature of real crime… or rather that the reader is sheltered and squeamish for even questioning it.

(only doing these updates till my journal i ordered arrives) love when a book changes my mind. the violence is not meant to shock- it is a byproduct, a transaction, but not clinical. there is a lot of interesting emotional incongruity hinted at by these hypermasculine mafiosos who must not mourn their lives, nor the lives they take.
