Hit and miss, I preferred the comics and poetry to the written bits. A lot of zen influences throughout and oooh the cat sketches made me miss the family cat who died 2-3 years ago.

Quiet and reflective and you really have to pay a bit more attention. It's more of a collection of short stories than a closely knit narrative so go in without the expectation that all the pieces will knit together except as a collection of Porcellino's work.

Stuff happens, kinda like life :P

Okay, I really did like this book, but I question whether it counts as another Catch-22, maybe because I read Catch-22 when I was 14 and so don't remember it so well.

But this I liked all on it's own merits, the ridiculousness harshness of the war against the celebrity culture of the US. I think it might be a book that has to sit a little bit since I ran through it in one day (I brought it to the bar with me, I stopped reading when the b-day boy showed up, it's not a problem - it's a QUIRK.

Gorgeous illustrations, pretty familiar trickster type tales

A small collection of trickster tales from all over.
