Duplex
by Mike Nagel
is a book that
feels like
drinking
with a good friend
as he tells
a hilarious story.
I couldn't
put this one down.
It's inventive
yet conversational,
original yet familiar.
Quietly and masterfully
outlandish.
While I
read this
in a sitting
or two
(only 100 pages)
I could have
spent a couple hundred
more pages
with this voice.
Like the beef ham
on the cover,
I ate it up.
