Together We Will Go
Library recommendation, and I’m leery of the software itself, as the old “3M cloud Library” software never felt as robust as either Kindle or my preferred Apple i-Books. But the library software didn’t track metrics of my reading, either, so there is that. Less invasive, and it does work.

Pretty sure I read something before by this author.
“Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;”
(Opening lines from ‘The Love Song J. Alfred Prufrock,’ by T.S. Eliot.)
All amazon had was comics by the same guy. Not what I was thinking about. Pretty sure I read something else, but the search function ain’t getting it.
As an introduction?
“B.A. in Creative Writing from Eastern Florida State College, which means I have zero qualifications for any job that pays actual money.” Page 11.
First person narrative with text messages and email — modern epistolary missive?
As an aside, I’ve never read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, purportedly a novel about following a band of people dropping acid and driving a bus cross-country. Often suggested as the first of New Journalism.
A ride in the crazy bus?
While bleakly humorous, and definitely dark in tone, the novel tries, and in my mind successfully deals with death, suicide and other insanity in our modern world, in a post-modern manner. Uploaded to the cloud?
Against the terror, death, and destruction currently unfolding elsewhere? Even more thought-provoking. But dangerous, too. Might ought to be censored.
