Other Comments: The main character, Jack Hercules Sheahan, is a broke media escort living in Iowa City, struggling to finish a novel that never seems to be done. His world is filled with wacky characters such as a goofy pothead neighbor, an insane stalker publicist from New York, crazy writers, and the run-of-the-mill ex girlfriend. The setting is so dismal and the character's self loathing is so great, I began to hate the setting and the character. I wasn't satisfied with the ending either, although I understand the point. Otherwise, this novel is filled with enjoyable haphazard events and humor.
