NEW paperback

Slacker Linklater, Richard

Im living in this world Im what, a slacker? A twentysomething? Im in the margins Im not building a wall but making a brick Okay, here I am, a tired inheritor of the Me generation, floating from school to street to bookstore to movie theater with a certain uncertainty Im in that white space where consumer terror meets irony and pessimism, where Scooby Doo and Dr Faustus hold equal sway over the mind, where the Butthole Surfers provide the background volume, where we choose what is not obvious over what is easy It goes onlike TV channelcruising, no plot, no tragic flaws, no resolution, just mastering the moment, pushing forward, full of sound and fury, full of life signifying everything on any given day
