it was amazing

This book spins on the most amazing, absurd premise that I've ever seen in a novel: two guys arguing about a movie that they watched on TV the night before. Neither saw the entire movie, and both were distracted during the parts they did see, and one guy's throwaway joke about a silly anachronism - i.e., a poor goatherd in the remote Ukrainian mountains wearing a Rolex - triggers a grand, wide-ranging debate about the nature of reality that's canny, insightful and hilarious. I really did laugh out loud a half dozen times.

A truly unexpected pleasure. I want to read more from this author!
