Endless endless, this book truly does feel endless

Revisado: 03-21-24

Self-fellatio: an act that takes strenuous effort and serves to only give pleasure to the person performing the act while making any observers uncomfortable and embarrassed. Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t do, and also can’t teach? They write books about those who do. Get ready for 13 hours of this. Clair manages to spend 1000 words telling us the virtue of art’s ability to show instead of telling before even starting the book. This feels like it’s an essay Clair wrote during sophomore year in college thinking they were the first person to discover art. Then they showed it to somebody who said “hey you know you should turn this into a book” and Clair decided to write that book because they understand that was just a nice way of saying “you need to stop talking to me about neutral milk hotel.” The performer of the audio book is great at capturing the unbearable navel-gazing tone common with most fans of neutral milk hotel. Listen to the sample and imagine my review read in that voice for 13 hours. If you haven’t rolled your eyes right out of your head, it’s a thoroughly researched book and the only option for learning about the history of the elephant 6 recording co on a long drive without dying trying to watch the documentary on your phone. 4/10
