Flatscreen oleh Adam Wilson
Ringkasan
Indie-lit star and Faster Times editor Adam Wilson delivers the gleefully absurd, effortlessly heartwarming story of one young man’s struggle to shake off the listless, sexless, stoned mantle of suburban teenage life and become something better. Fortunately (maybe) for Eli, his apathetic quest finds a catalyzing agent in one Mr. Seymour J. Kahn, a paraplegic sex addict and two-bit silver screen star who initiates a mad decent into debasement and (of course) YouTube stardom—a transformation from which there will be no going back.
Ulasan
This is a one-man version of "Community", a hilariously depressing story about Eli Schwartz. It's aggressively self-aware, and filled with pop culture references, alternate universe endings, and bizarre characters. Eli, the slacker misfit protagonist who spends more time with trashy TV than actual human beings, makes for a great narrator. His struggle to connect with friends, family, and women are surprisingly sympathetic. His endless pop culture analysis is entertaining and brilliant. The most impressive part of Flatscreen, in my opinion, is that it lets Eli grow a bit, not melodramatically, but believably, slowly, in a humanizing way.
