Having a go with "This is Memorial Device" by David Keenan.
Anyone else on it? Or been through it?
It's OK... kinda interesting turns of phrase and a few good bits of conversation. Some funny bits, although a lot of feels completely unbelievable.
And the whole thing feels a little bit too imagined rather than done, if you know what I mean. As in, you feel like too much is made up and there is a lot of rapturous / over the top language on every other page e.g. stuff like:
"...and as I looked at the window and heard this long, sustained tone, this slow off-kilter drum beat, I thought to myself, when I die let me wake up here, let me reincarnate into this picture; let me live in this moment forever."
Feels like he's massively nicked the structure from Bolano's Savage Detectives, in that it's recollections from lots of different people around a particular scene.
Am about 80 pages through and will persevere cos it's very easy reading, just wondered if other people have read it, seen as it's a music book.
