Аннотация
Marketing Notes:"Tao Lin meets SJ Perelman" in The Wilshire Sun, a book full of dynamic, slyly original language and off kilter imagery. Masterfully paced, Baldwin's comic timing is reminiscent of vintage Woody Allen. The elements of the novella's constitution – clipped pieces of fast paced immediate narrative interspersed with epistolary matter and off-the-cuff riffs on junk food, screenwriting, Walt Whitman, big brothers, bum grandfathers and crackpot friends – magically hang together and offer a delightfully absurd portrait of the artists as a young man in the City of Angels.Selling Points:Form – The Daily Beast calls the novella the «perfect form for our time.» The Wilshire Sun is short, portable, compellingly discursive and mysterious.Humor – The books humor will spark a wave of positive word-of-mouth in the blogosphere.
