I am at a loss to explain this one. I think I picked it up just for the bunny ears on the cover juxtaposed with the gun, and the stories were even more bizarre, but less funny. Surrealist fiction set in any-city, anywhere (where the young folks are compelled to do a stint in the service), in which outlandish things happen to ennui-filled slackers that you don't really care about.
Is it possible that people may be connecting with this work because their lives are really like this? Except without the bizarre, outlandish events? This is worrisome.
