A book built from Vollmann's time exploring Skid Row interviewing hookers, addicts and alcoholics. Seems to be an attempt to see and write from the mind of a character from that milieu. An exploration of the human relations and the fantasies or stories told in this world. No sense of judgement, blame, sociological analysis.
Strange man - if he is in fact setting out to deeply explore the worlds of those outside the middle class ficiton, I have great respect for that.
