Wow, this was, hmmm, I can't find a word to describe it. Let's try with: mad, sick, abnormal, morbid, crazy, genius and so on. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't so gross. Also, the ending was excellent. This thing together with Barth's Lost in the Funhouse is really a short and concise in-depth analysis of postmodernism.

I don't really know what to make of this. I *think* this is the story of a normal evening of babysitting, in which nothing untoward actually happens except in the imaginations and fantasies of the various characters, and on the television. It was certainly a gripping read and I finished it in one sitting. More reflection needed.

I don't know what I just read. Was it all scenarios? What the final paragraph the real deal? A definite gripping read.
