Exterminator! A Novel | 
so-soExterminator! is a loose collection of short stories billed as a novel, which serves as a neat metaphor for a lot of WB's writing - asserting itself to be something greater than it is. The man has a vivid imagination, and there are bursts of narrative brilliance here, but unfortunately they're buried beneath a mountain of "experimental" gobbledygook - by which I mean a lack of punctuation, bizarre paragraph structures, and random POV shifts...?
The_Penniless_Author ...an experiment that at this point I think we can say has been tested to death and proven largely a failure. Still a so-so because the guy could be a great writer when he felt like it. 3y
Schwifty Naked Lunch was the same. I could barely discern a narrative and meanwhile the passages that stood out to me were exceptionally graphic. 3y
