I don't get this. These stories just aren't good. They're pretty nonsensical, overly descriptive and meandering. They're weird and gross and not in a way that is needed.

Early writings...the rhythm and the language are there but the craft is being perfected...if you're a fan...well worth seeking out,,,if you're not, then you gotta ask yourself some tough questions: why?, where have I been? and such...
