The joys of detail

I loved this book. It has the descriptivness of Tom Robbins with the subtlety of Kurt Vonnogut, Jr. Parker's descriptions are flowing and easy to get sucked into. The plot has a sadness that is masked by laugh-out-loud humor, until I really stopped and considered what Parker was saying (my favorite attribute of Vonnogut). It was one of those books that I couldn't put down, then had regretted consuming so quickly once I reached the end.
