Query: Poignant and hilarious.

This is a book that makes you want to wrestle people to the ground so you can read it outloud to them. In my mind the narrator always sounds like Arlo Guthrie doing Alice's Restraunt. From the page-and-a-half-long opening sentence, Pearson rambles in a seemingly aimless manner that belies the method in his madness. Seamless, this is American fiction at its best.
