DEBRIS.COMgood for a laugh, or possibly an aneurysm

The back cover says this: Funny. Hip. Compelling. Book. I agree completely — this book is authentically Californian, or at least authentically Santa-Cruzian, and very very clever.

The worst thing about this book is the photo on the cover. I hate when publishers try to depict characters; there’s no way the dorky guy in this photo could be as smart as the main character in the book.

It’s a sort of love story, with some political machinations, some Native American history, and a big old car. Smart people learn new things. Attractive people have sex. And everybody has wonderous, glib conversations that are laugh-out-loud funny.

Here’s the main character’s recollection of a job interview.
  Law Firm Flunky: What would you say is your greatest weakness?
  Ronnie: I respond with hostility to stupid questions.

Heh. I really enjoyed this book. Except for the damn photo on the cover.
