Jess Walter is a riot - this is a hysterical, smart, contemporary novel. Matt's life is starting to unravel - he's lost his job, the bank has foreclosed on his house and his wife is pursuing an online affair with an old classmate on Facebook. To rectify these situations, Matt does the humble (and American) thing - he makes more bad decisions. This book is the "Corrections" of 2009. It's "White Noise"-lite. A wonderful, real read.
