Novel Explosives by Jim Gauer (2016)

1 week ago 20

I just finished this book (a recommendation from a one-off comment in this sub a few months ago) last night and was shocked to see how little online discourse there is about this one.

I’m absolutely shameless about my love of these bombastic, byzantine, discursive PoMo novels—DFW, Gaddis, Pynchon, etc., all writers mentioned in the afterword. But this one felt like an entirely new interpretation. Haven’t read anything else like it.

I finished the last ~100 pages in one-sitting and I felt like my brain had been through a HIIT workout, in the best way.

Anyone else read this? Anyone else love it as much as me? Anyone got other recommendations for similar? Cheers fam.
