Eric Bogosian go or no go?

I’ve run into some Bogosian performances on television, read a couple of his monologues, and now am considering buying his novel “Mall” because his writing style* seems similar to mine.

Whatcha all think about Mr.B and his writing? Has anyone read Mall?

*[sub]jarbaby is not suggesting that she’s on the same level of Bogosian for sure, but that she sees a similar writing STYLE in their writing[/sub]

The only thing I have read by EB is a few of his “31 Ejaculations” stories occasionally posted on Salon.com.

In my literary opinion, they are lame. Lame. Lame.

Yes. I read a few of those. They weren’t so hot. (pun intended)

But I also read some excerpts from Suburbia and Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll, and that seemed interesting.

in any event, I hear he’s loud…but that doesn’t help me with reading suggestions.
