Bongwater by Michael Hornburg6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Courtney's story was sometimes interesting (although suffered from the "New York City is a gritty porno salad" cliche) but more care should have been shown to the principal character. It's such a stupid shtick to avoid developing the main character. Also, note to Gen X writers: Please, please stop the fucking cross-chapters of multiple viewpoints in different parts of the country (here it's between Portland and New York City). ![]() Does this make the book less interesting? Well, yes, when the plot falls into the predictable foibles of multiple relationships. Here I am, a twentysomething unemployed loser sitting in a arty coffee house in Boston reading about a twentysomething unemployed loser sitting in a arty coffeehouse in Portland." But then I realized this guy gets more chicks than me. ![]()
