An engaging story with some poignant surprises along the way. But very talky and overly explanatory narration. Too often the characters seem less like real people than like reflections of the author’s own passing thoughts, which gives the book a cram...more

Dystopian depiction of a possible apolcalyptic near-future in which American economic power has collapsed and society has devolved into a grotesque blend of Orwellian cruelty, corporate saturation, and crass sexualization of all aspects of life. Hila...more

A (if the The) Great American Novel all right. Surprisingly (to me) Romantic, lyrical. Surpassingly fabulous concluding sentence: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

More of Taylor's books…
“Nothingness is everything to philosophers. If you wonder what everything is, then you also wonder what nothing is. The question is whether you can talk about it and still make sense. Heidegger thought that although being and nothing are not something, we nevertheless have a sense of them in moods like anxiety, joy and boredom. I’m writing a book about Heidegger, which means I’m writing about nothing. The good thing about nothing is that there’s so much of it. Pretty much everywhere you go, there it is.”
Taylor Carman

“There is no such thing as an empty word, only one that is worn out yet remains full.”
Martin Heidegger
