Hey everybody,
Just wanted to pass along news of a great
A.D.D. review over at
Pop Matters.
The review was written by Savannah Schroll Guz, a short-takes columnist for
Library Journal and the co-editor of the online literary journal
Hobart.
I've posted the beginning of her review down below, and there's a link to
Pop Matters if you'd like to read the rest of it.
Naturally every word of it is true. :)
Cheers,

Attention. Deficit. Disorder. is an astute portrait of the generation born in the '70s, incubated by a liberal arts education in the '90s, and set adrift on the comparatively choppy sea of the real world by the end of the millennium. Wayne Fencer, Brad Listi's protagonist, is a Gen X Everyman, resembling, in his wandering world view and uncertain actions, so many late- '20s / early 30-something men.
Affable but slightly aloof, he is noncommittal, restless, and admittedly directionless. He seeks, but is not entirely convinced of what he is looking for and pitches forward into adventures almost accidentally, making a life out of what comes to him. It is Fencer and his quest for meaning, his indecisive complexity, and aimless wonder that make this book significant to contemporary literature, even to cultural studies....To read the rest of the review, just click
