Status Updates From Toward the End of Time

Sometimes gorgeous, sometimes repulsive, and really almost nothing happens (actually things do but they're downplayed to the advantage of the narrator's endless nature-perving trips to the mailbox). Oscillates between solid four star goodness and one star "why would anyone write, let alone publish, this" material.

This is one weirdass book, man. I'm enjoying it, kinda, even tho the narrator's a misogynist dick even by Updike standards
