Dear reader. This review was precipitated by my recent procuremnet of Susan Blackmore's Meme Machine. As I perused the first few chapters, I realized how vapid and apassionate Lynch's book was. How much more entertaining Blackmore's description is! Lynch is like a K-mart cowboy attepting self-indoctrination into a new landscape over which he is unable to traverse. As you read, you feel anguishingly bootstrapped to a neophytic writer whose prose is as unnavigable and fractured as the badlands of Bryce Canyon. I read 30 pages. It was the first book I've put down unfinished since I tried Thomas Pynchon when I was 6.
