A review by rvlgonzalez
Outside Looking in by T.C. Boyle

2.0

I only finished this book because of the sunk cost fallacy, which is a fallacy, so I should have stopped, but I was holding out hope that maybe the book would cohere into something informative or introspective or compelling or analytical, but it didn't. Sometimes it felt impossible to tell whether the writer was as infatuated with psychedelics as his characters or resented them so much that his idea of successful criticism was ham-handed satire.
