Before anything else, I want to clarify that I usually I am not a new hitch (that is an understatement) and I bought this book because I had heard a "very foolish". That led me to go beyond my usual selection criteria; and many took me. Indeed, I found the news of Mr. Thom Jones, together, powerful, pleasant, hard-hitting and, for some of them, exciting (well I stop there, redundancy, I swear .. .). In these texts where we find the pen of John Fante example, it is America that is hidden, this time perfectly exposed. The Vietnam War and its consequences cursed, decadent and idle youth, impulses and sexual frustrations, diverse and varied drug consumption; and a present violence in the whole book, in many forms, are addressed without any taboo. A relatively simple writing style, but rarely ure efficiency. Some passages may seem superfluous or take a step back, but overall, the writer Thom Jones makes a committed work, passion and undeniable efficiency (oops, new redundancy ...).
