Guess what arrived in the mail today!
Henry Fool is the story of a garbage man and a writer. They become close and their lives become intertwined. The garbage man becomes famous by dealing in garbage and the writer becomes obscure pretty much by the same means. It's a strange little story that should not be viewed by those weak to offences. There are scenes with vomiting, sex, defecation, and many with curse words, but it's statements like the one I listed and the strange intertwining of characters throughout the story. It's a strange little story that I enjoyed.
"I've been bad. Repeatedly. But why brag? The details of my exploits are only a pretext for a far more expansive consideration of general truths. What is this? It's a philosophy of poetics. Of politics if you will. A literature of protest. A novel of ideas. A pornographic magazine of truly comic book proportions. It is in the end what ever the hell I want it to be and when I'm through with it, it's going to blow a whole this wide straight through the worlds own idea of itself." --- Henry FoolThat's a man that believes in his writings. Too bad it turns out to be crap.
