I thought the 4 chapters based on different interactions and characters was a great way to pace the book; almost 4 short stories that interwove.
I just read that there is a sequel and I'll be heading out to find it asap!

Who else read this because of the big hole left by Big Swiss? This one, way darker, darker themes, darker characters but the same kind of humour and mundane descriptions of a day-to-day life of a mentally unstable woman, that (hopefully) you can't relate in many levels, but you're still rooting for her.
