Charlie Fell sells baseball cards with seemingly hallucinogenic properties out of his bedroom, takes road trips to places he loves (New York City) and loathes (Southern California), and trips over a series of romantic entanglements. When the young writer releases his first novel, his life begins to unravel as the fallout from his published inner-monologues drive him back inside his already frail mind.

This book is going to be difficult to describe, but after reading it I think it deserves a review, so I'm going to try.The reader is in the head of Charlie Fell, a writer who just published his first book. He is rarely sober, completely directionless, intelligent and sensitive, but too apathetic to get out of his slacker rut. His main source of income is the sale of baseball cards, and his life happens one day at a time, one moment at a time, sometimes just a series of observations strung together. He speaks in ironies and thinks in metaphor. Seeing from his perspective is disorienting and eye-opening, as his voice is unique, and every mundane object is assigned meaning.
The plot is slow paced and the character development is subtle at first, but undeniable. The real joy for me was the beauty of the writing itself; it's like swimming through someone else's hallucination. This won't be for everyone, but personally I love the style. It doesn't go easy on you; it makes you think. It wakes up your imagination. The prose can be mesmerizing, and the descriptions of places like New York are alive.
There are way too many bright people, full of potential, who live too much inside their own heads, or see the machine a little too clearly to do well as a part of it. I've known a few of them. They rarely get their s*** together in time to save themselves and Charlie's character felt very real and very familiar. I was rooting for a happy ending for him the entire time.
