I enjoyed this more than I thought I would...and I really enjoyed the last third as all of the seemingly disconnected bits came together. I haven't read a book this strongly about "identity" since the Auster binge I went on about 15 years ago. (Speaking of which, his new book is next up in the queue...)

Yesterday I went over to West Oakland to watch a short documentary my friend Elida made. She had taken a class on film making and was showing off the final product. Pretty cool and inspiring! Justin Chin who hosted the showing also showed one of his recent works (he's a cinematographer). He helped create an unofficial music video for a Green Day song. I'm not a Green Day fan, but I do have more appreciation for them after recently finishing the book Gimme Something Better: The Profound, Progressive, and Occasionally Pointless History of Bay Area Punk from Dead Kennedys to Green Day and in my opinion this is another case where the fan video blows away the official video. Anyhow, compare and contrast for yourself.
