Who Is Rich?: A Novel
Self-indulgent asshole: I’m completely fine with that for a main character. His anxieties and feelings on parenting are, frankly, spot on at times. That, and the level of basically choosing to ignore what’s going on in the world as being above it, and not having the time in your artistry to concern yourself with that, smacks so much of privilege I’m familiar with in my daily life that it’s uncanny.

Maybe it’s the stream-of-consciousness, but I don’t know. I’ve enjoyed many books with this (even with unlikable characters)…
But Rich is too much. I’m setting this aside. It’s not going to formally be a DNF, because it’s kind of easy to read. It’s just so off-putting.
8/15 I give it 2 stars for the writing and observation....but now this DNF is official.
