Review of 'The Broom of the System' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Finite Jest. Jests need to be finite if we want to make to to the other side. I liked this better than the infinite which I finished not. Now I might go back to it because I believe the man has brilliance in him. But he also has a lot of other stuff. And the only reason this was finite was because a line was drawn in the (black) sand. It didn't need to stop where it did. You could argue that it needed not to stop, in fact. But why argue?
Best part: The story of the Thermos Woman (and the (as Rick Vigorous would say)) context.
