Lyner is a guy who uses words to humor, shock, dazzle you. This is a little different from a writer who uses ideas to do those things. He's much crisper than Hunter Thompson or Faulkner, who strike me as words-before-idea guys. That said, this is a book for the rare reader who will enjoy word riffs.
