Home Land: a Novel. Sam Lipsyte (2004)

(ebook) Supposedly a very funny author, I found it just entertaining. The whole book is a series of letters destined to the high school alumni newsletter: The catmounts. That is fresh for a while, a few good liners, the cynic look on the successes and mediocrity of the alumni.

But even literature seems saturated by this over used trend of amuse the audience by introducing endless list of characters doing bizarre and pointless things, or just a few characters doing an endless list of bizarre and pointless things. Protagonist and productive seem to be contradictory these days.
