Panorama City

Oppen Porter thinks he’s dying. (He’s not.)

From his hospital bed, with tape recorder in hand, he unspools his tale for the benefit of his unborn son, the tale of his forty-day journey from innocence to experience, from self-described “slow absorber” to man of the world.

This is his “astonishing,”* “laugh-aloud funny,”** “crisp,”*** “delightful,”**** “indelible”***** story.

Interesting writing style, unique take on the unreliable narrator thing... but I cared not a whit about anybody in this story, and failed to see the humor in the misadventures of the societally challenged characters.
