...electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing." Only someone who has virtually never lived more than 100 miles from the East Coast could concoct a list of such suburban Americana. (For that matter, who anywhere cooks steak on an electric grill?) The book jokes about fisting, mentions a 1961 Kurt Vonnegut story, and offers a Michael Moore fart joke.

And I think what happens is that it just becomes a period piece or a time capsule. I look at the books that I really enjoyed the most - like Kurt Vonnegut for example, or Joan Didion - you can tell, almost in some cases to the hour, the minute, when they were writing. I never put stuff in gratuitously. I think that's a misconception. Like how many can I squeeze in. Things like the page with the contents of Doritos...
