Books like Nymphomation

Even to my jaded reading ear, this just pops off the page with hyperkinetic sentence and story-structure. There's a fast pop frivolity to it as well, but that just seems to bring it closer to the pulp-lit innovations of the the late 60s than most of their modern imitators. How exciting that I can still get grabbed like this (as with other 2016 reads, it's a good year so far: Our Lady of the Nile, The Third Policeman, and Breaking and Entering) from page one. And even if the mathematical underpinnings turn out to be mostly empty and undeveloped sketches of ideas (come on, thrown me some ideas to really chew over in the world outside the novel's!), even if a certain logic was eschewed in favor of bringing every plot thread together for the most climactic culmination possible under the circumstances, it's all just so much fun to read. And for a blind buy out of the Strand dollar bins, no less. Definitely will need to track down a few other entries in Noon's cyberpunk sequence.
