just a real joy to read. hilarious, clever, biting: the truest embodiment of postmodernism i have read thus far. and after reading DFW's (brilliant) “E Unibus Pluram” essay where he breaks down the “Most Photographed Barn in America” scene, I know I only got like half of the deeper meanings here. looking forward to rereading this again and again in the years to come

side note: really love the idea of a supermarket-as-sensory-experience. also Murray is one of my favorite characters in fiction, ever.
