The Ice Cream Man and Other Stories, by Sam Pink

This contains one short story that made sense and had a purpose. Mostly they are incoherent and have no end goal. There is a lot of babble. There is a two page story about him jumping rope, the end. A few stories reminded me of people talking about what happened at a party the night before or what happened at work earlier that day. For example, the opening story is the narrator and two others in the alley drinking, smoking, and chatting it up while watching a rat scurry about.

I recommend this book to no one. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy!
