Weekly "what are you reading" Thread #70

I'm reading The Tatami Galaxy by Tomihiko Morimi.

I've only read the first part, of presumably four, and it was either a lark of youthful hedonism, or a lame example of toxic masculinity. Nothing obscene, but the violent and irrational struggle against perceived injustice arising from psycho-social dynamics is pretty much this cesspit in a nutshell. Reads like it was written by an obsessive vindictive queer.

The only downside is that it reads like a 'young adult' novel written for angry man children in their early thirties who are obsessed with anime.

The beginning of part two reveals a nice literary device I wasn't expecting.

Would strongly recommend.
