This book was given to me by the  publisher, via Netgalley, in exchange for  an honest review.  Each book leaves you with a unique impression. This book has left me with words and ideas. So, this review is going to be made up of lists of words

Writing is;  Satirical, witty, sharp, lyrical, poetic, heart-breaking, and engrossing.   Writing is about;  trauma, loss, self medication,  avoidance, writing, memory, war,  America’s war on terror and its effects, racism, American imperialism,  and late stage capitalism.  What did I think?  I enjoyed the reading process.  However, I must admit that it hasn’t stuck with me. I have a bunch of vague impressions but nothing solid. The  writing has a satirical , lyrical, tone and a dreamlike nature.  It didn’t  blow me away but it was an enjoyable read
