Hilarious, ridiculous, thoughtful, rambling, poignant, and just plain fun. It's a collection of thoughts on the world dressed up as the review of an exasperated editor trying to understand the scrambled notes of an eccentric philosopher who has been working on a “Philosophy of Clothes.” It has some genuinely insightful and beautiful things to say about the world, but it is never afraid to indulge in its own absurd mythos to keep things interesting. I'm so excited that I get to read this one again, and understand it better.
