Crabcakes

McPherson is exquisitely sensitive, almost to the point of the supernatural. He comes off like an oracle but channeling America rather than God or the fates. He rambles and rants and raves and you get the feeling that he's opening a window onto something. In his lucid moments,  he gives you uncanny images of ideas underpinning society.

P.S. I think this book is a lot like Slaughterhouse V.
