It's amazing that Lipsyte is able to pull this off. In lesser hands it would be a one-joke, 1500 word short story, but he turns it into a hilarious, affecting riff on growing older and dealing with our shitty pasts, and all kinds of other stuff. Read it. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/73914?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
