around the very real streets of chicago and have him interact with various semi insane characters and then you cut across that reality with the narrator s incredibly funny and poetic thoughts and

passively, to their conversation In itself, this would be fine, but the way the homeless characters talked although I m sure phonetically and idiosyncratically accurate was just way too annoying and difficult to follow And to boot, most of the time they weren t saying an...Throughout every Sam Pink work, the one consistency I ve noticed is that he serves himself up as a conduit to whatever weirdness happens in his vicinity He serves as the Sancho to every Don Quixote tilting at windmills in the streets That much hasn t changed with this new work.But something remarkable has happened

people and enjoy the simplest things in life which is completely unlike me You might call Sam Pink a minimalist, but the reality, raw emotion and...Imagine, if you will, a Shakespeare play dedicated entirely to the gravediggers in Hamlet The interesting part about the Bard s comic characters not only the gravediggers, but Lear s fool and the under appreciated Autolycus is that they are smarter andhonest than their neighbors of higher social standing Sharp wits and true souls, always taking the piss out of the upper class twits around them Sam Pink s characters share the same qualities He s as obsessed with the down and out as Imagine, if you will, a Shakespeare play...Sam Pink s newest book is classic Sam Pink A minimalist view into people s lives On this one, we have a nameless

Clone and Eat It still might be my all time favorite.Anyhoo, Sam knocks it out of the park with this one The narrator decides to make friends with Chicago s homeless community, Now, with the exception of Frowns Need Frien...Witch Piss was wonderful to me in a different way I ve fed off the negativity of Person and I Am Going To Clone Myself like ramen after stumbling home drunk Voraciously Don t judge While there s still plenty of cynical honesty in Witch Piss, I came out of reading it with this weird, warmish feeling I ve heard it called hope before or something like that.It made me love
