Mark Salzman's latest is a humorous and delightful memoir of growing up in suburbia in the 1970s. Attempting to be a Zen monk and a kung fu black belt, while simultaneously ingesting world-class amounts of marijuana, Salzman is truly merciless in depicting the wincing embarrassment and secret joys of adolescence.'If you drank and smoked pot until you passed out, drove a Camero with slicks on the back wheels and primer sprayed all over the body, set something on fire inside the school building or made noises loud enough to cause adults to have fits, you were wild, but if you cut the soles out of the bottoms of your shoes, read books on your own and meditated in the outdoor smoking lounge, you were weird and pretty much undateable.'
Maybe I've taken this book from the library's book-swap cart? I have no idea. Anyway, I haven't read it, and it's gathering dust on my bookshelf. It's time to release it somewhere.
