I'd like to write a lot more about this. And will when I have time. If you dig the blackest kind of humor you'll like this. (Although one weakness of this particular sub-genre is that everyone is crazy and everyone speaks in crazy poetry.)
How Home Land garnered such positive reviews is beyond me. It's a story in which characters I couldn't care less about do absolutely nothing. Sam Lipsyte is a sharp wordsmith, so though this book was an utter disappointment, I will likely read his upcoming novel, The Ask. [ full review ]
