The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno

2.0

I got the feeling that I’m just not smart enough for this book. It started out really interesting and I enjoyed the characters and set it down for a few days and the next time I picked it up I just didn’t care anymore. It starts to venture into magical realism/fantasy coupled with writing devices such as journal entries, long passages in italics or a bit of script from a play. And putting it down for a day or two in between reads left me completely lost. I probably would’ve stuck with it if I could have remembered which character was which or cared enough about them to try to remember. In general, it seemed like very self-absorbed people who can’t see beyond their own problems.
