To act like Eggers a moment I am going to toss around some vocabulary: This book is an exercise in glib solipsism, an ambuscade of poseurism, with a dash of audience participation. Here's a quote as an example, "The self-canonization disguised as self-destruction masquerading as self-aggrandizement disguised as self-flagellation as highest art form of all aspect." However, despite the hard work I had to invest to get into the meat of the book, it was still a pretty good time.
