I found this secondhand in the Boulder bookstore so the fact that it was released to raise money for Amnesty was I guess not helped by my purchase (I feel like I may have had this conversation with Pierce before but I don't know if it was this book or whether it was on the internets or in real life or maybe just deja vu. Anyway.) I read it on the way back from Boulder to LA and it made me laugh out loud on the bus and the plane which always makes me feel a little crazy but I like it. So it was definitely funny. Took the piss out of the government, the political parties, the gardai, people from the city, people from the country, the writers themselves, and even James Joyce (gasp), around whose mysterious missing manuscript the story is based. Very fun and probably the best attempt at having 15 writers manage a single story that could be achieved.

Aside: This book also sank me into a paroxysm of shame over the fact that I haven't yet read Ulysses to past a quarter of the way through so I went and bought it (again) today and this time I'm not giving up, losing the book or being distracted by ANYTHING. ]]> <![CDATA[Damhnait added 'In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54138910 In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (In Search of Lost Time: Book 2) by Marcel Proust
