This marks my first foray into "weird" fiction, but it just seems like postmodernism to me.
It's a strangely enjoyable book, consisting of what reads like the internal monologue of someone slightly more prone to alienated thoughts than most of us (YMMV). Perhaps it's just that he's living in Chicago in the winter. Chicago in the winter can do strange things to people.
There's a lulling refrain, which ties the text together and makes it seem a little weightier than a series of weird blog posts, and some metafictional touches.

Thin and depressing this one. Some really funny passages and some authentic alienation too.
