Unreadable. And I do confess to being obviously ill-equipped to read this type of literature. But I respect those who do as well as those who also can find something worthwhile in their being immersed (and not believing) in wasting one's own precious time. A J.P. Klump liked to say, "It takes all k...
http://msarki.tumblr.com/post/149974958253/my-cousin-my-gastroenterologist-by-mark-leynerPerhaps I should confess how impressed I am with Mark Leyner’s ability to keep his rambling psychotic rants on task and focused enough to the degree he maintained, with skill, the mind trip he wanted us privy to...
http://msarki.tumblr.com/post/145574640303/gone-with-the-mind-by-mark-leynerThis was my first exposure to Mark Leyner. His novel concept was refreshing, and the opening chapter with his mom making the l-o-n-g and digressing introduction for Leyner's reading at the mall is priceless.The only novel I ...
This is definitely out there. If you're interested in novels with a really wild and experimental construction, then you'll enjoy dissecting this. That's not exactly my cup of tea, I'm not one who can just relax into stream of consciousness and go along for the ride for 250 pages, but in small doses ...
In this book, at least, Mark Leyner is a late 20th century Hennie Youngman. Who the hell is Hennie Youngman, you ask? If you aren't older than dirt, you may well ask. Monsieur Youngman was a stand up comedian whose schtick was telling an infinite number of 2- or 3-line jokes in an extremely rapid-fi...
Although the facts are interesting the link pieces are annoying at best and truly disjointed at worst, I suppose it's ment to show the mind-set and how they link from one issue to another but a few more interesting factoids would have been more fun for me. Sans link pieces and with more facts they w...
Mark Leyner clearly has a brilliant mind and I plan to check out some more of his work. I read a review that stated this book needs to be read twice before you really get it, so maybe, I'm the one that's deficient. This book, however clever and well written it may be (and it is extremely so) did...
Before posting this would-be review, I went back to reread B0nnie's much better and more postive review; my advice is read that one. If for some reason you have nothing better to do, mine follows:Years, and years, and years, and years ago, friends of mine and I would drive from central Illinois wher...
A new Mark Leyner book was a sight for sore eyes. Being a fan of his work, I was siked to see that my cousin one from goodreads first reads. to all the people that gave this a horrible review. i hope you get hit by a Mister Softey Truck. Just kidding but do your homework.Gods & Goddesses who can get...
