Supermarket

Although it's not usually my cup of tea, Logic's Supermarket was an entertaining and accessible read. He explores a crumbling phildickian sense of reality and mental illness in a novel that, quite frankly, is clunky, awkward, and too clearly written in the informal voice of the millennial generation. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading this novel for its playful mind games as well as its insights on the endless loop or drudgery in retail. So many young Americans, who, are without a doubt the target audience of this novel, can relate to Flynn's sense of aimlessness and the degrading conditions of work in the types of jobs available nowadays. So, regardless of how one feels about the novel's twist or its meta-ness, it speaks to the issues at heart for young Americans.
