To enjoy this book, you should relax your rational mind, step back, and view it less as a series of stories and more as the literary equivalent of a Dali painting or a poetry performance where, if you let yourself take in the images, coherence eventually emerges. In fact, this book is surreal. What makes it gel is less the story and more the images that bubble up from one piece to another. In this sense, Lavery is again similar to Dali, who embraced painting as a medium to study the psyche through subconscious images. Indeed, Lavery is a master of painting a picture with words, using fresh, sometimes funny and often very visual phrases.
