A collection of shorter stories and a novella. Fits into the genre of darker, gothic american literature. Stories filled with sad cases lost in bizarre, improbable situations. Undertones of politics of disenfranchisement, dystopia, the corporate behemoth, the social background of violence. Satirical rather than pathetic. Life, not at the bottom, but trapped low down on the social totem pole.
Some original ideas in his characters' situations and social universes. Definitely worth a read.
