A review by davidbuchmann
The Ask by Sam Lipsyte

2.0

Lots of funny riffs about the peculiarities of Internet Age life for a man who graduated with a liberal arts degree in the early 90s. But the plot and neurotic main character might have been cobbled together from any number of satirical novels published since [b:Money|18825|Money|Martin Amis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1297100735s/18825.jpg|85999], and so apart from the lingering bitterness of witnessing the protagonist come undone (largely through his own efforts), not a whole lot of the book has stayed with me in the week since I finished it.
