room, closet, drawers, and nook and cranny of my MacArthur Park
district overcrowded book shelf)...
This novel is epic. Its like a shoe-gaze Gabriel Garcia-Marquez.. more emotive,
with more droning teeth saturated through its cutting, poetic insights. You can
literally
feel this text bleeding through the almost arbitrariness of the words..
