the naked raving empty

"Can you speak to a cynicism that denies all truth--the bang on the head with each passing day, saying nothing, giving no answer but that bang on the head? Where any thought or talk or movement is as good as any other because all are lies, where any hope or faith you invest is invested at random, on a passing whim, based on nothing but the sound of the words on your lips or the time of day this thought occurred to you?"...If you're over eighteen years of age, and not the impressionable type or particularly religious, and yet still feel a nascent sense of paranoia seeping into everyday interactions with the rest of the so-called world, why not buy this novel?"
