this book was neither good nor bad, spectacular nor boring, annoying nor exciting. it is simply A Book that has A Story about A Guy like literally...i dont think i gained anything from this. i didnt lose anything either, but...its just such a nothing book. its a very weird full stream of consciousness narrated by a character who is annoying most of the time, gross at other times, and wholly sympathetic at other times as well. its...certainly very strange and i dont think it was necessarily executed in the best way, but i do think there is perhaps some nuance that couldnt be translated over, so maybe thats the biggest issue.

the ending was definitely my least favourite part. like he just up and leaves to tunisia? okay. sure. why the fuck not, i guess.
