Set mostly in Manhattan, Lin's highly anticipated debut autobiographical novella, spanning two years in the life of a young, hip writer with a cult following, is destined to become a classic text. The narrative darts across many locations, inspired by a rich host of cultural and literary icons such as Bret Easton Ellis, Moby and Ghost Mice. With dexterity and a cutting-edge cultural fluency, Lin explores themes of class, culture and art through the funny and existential narrative of his protagonist.

don't waste your time on this one, folks. Nothing happens, just a guy speaks to various acquaintances and gets caught twice shoplifting...and repeatedly gives people a "neutral facial expression", whatever that is. There is NO PLOT whatsoever.

Who could resist this title? Not me, although the book does not have much connection with that very strange retail empire other than the obvious. I love a novella, the satisfaction of completing a book with not too much time outlaid.
