This is a novel about someone coming to terms with his father dying. I read it about a year ago, and never reviewed it. I liked it at the time, but couldn't bring myself to write a review for it. I'd recommend it.

“The Eskimos may have a hundred words for snow, but at that moment, I only had two: Fuck. Yeah.”
Auralie Vierge

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
“The beginning of genius is being scared shitless.”
Louis-Ferdinand Céline, The Church: A Comedy in Five Acts

Arno Schmidt
“A decent human being is ashamed at being somebody's boss!”

Peter De Vries
“What baffles me is the comfort people find in the idea that somebody dealt this mess. Blind and meaningless chance seems to me so much more congenial - or at least less horrible. Prove to me that there is a God and I will really begin to despair.”
Peter De Vries, The Blood of the Lamb

Ben Marcus
“How did one even fraternize with people who could not entertain vivid scenarios of self-mutilation? How was the sexual act even possible if one's partner could not entertain being crushed under a truck, just as a cathartic exercise? What important piece of her brain was missing that deprived her of such, well, deeply necessary acts of physical editing?”
Ben Marcus
