    (3.5 stars) "What would anarchy look like if we just started calling it truth?"
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2011*

We do love our literary bad boys and Taylor jumps into the mix with his protagonist, David, in 1999 Gainesville, Florida. A recent college drop-out with a soul-killing job, the sterile walls of David's on-campus apartment yield no clues to his interior life- or lack of. Loneliness has driven the twenty-one year old to the flickering screen of his laptop, where he has mastered the Zen of pornography, the "gleeful gilding of the filth" simply one more scam of web sites and prurient appetites, the parade of faceless women as unsubstantial as their virtual names, ghosts trapped in cyber-space. As David wanders the streets of something, anything, he stumbles upon a pair of dumpster divers, ex-students who lead him to their house, Fishgut, and temporary nirvana.Inside, David's chronic state of alienation from the world and himself finds temporary reprieve, a loose-knit band of hippies, punks and anarchists who breach the boundaries of religion, politics and the false prophets of their world. As Katy, a kind of earth mother libertine, runs her fingers through David's hair and that of her lover, Liz, David can barely keep from crying: He realizes how long it's been since he's been touched. For all the intellectual distractions, political diatribes and search for God in an indifferent world, it is the human contact that feeds David's soul. Katy and Liz provide that contact in excess. From the David's biting commentary on the labyrinthine and deceptive temptations of pornography to the ultimate betrayal of a girl he really cared about, David's demoralization is complete, his psyche ready for the chance encounter at the dumpster.David wallows in this nest of rebellious ideas and dirty sheets, tangentially intrigued by the quest to comprehend the Divine, testing his commitment to abandon while living in filth and dining on stranger's discarded garbage. This parallel existence meets his needs- for a time. But even this anti-world evolves, made smaller in its familiarity, albeit wrapped in drug-fueled intellectual pursuits. Absorbed into the bohemian laxity of Katy and Liz's easy affection, anarchy turns complacent, people coming and going on impulse, their putative "leader", a mysterious hobo who has long since moved on, remembered only by a tent left in the back yard. While David transitions from one dimension to another, in thrall to the changed parameters of his existence and rapturously indulging in the wonders of the flesh and the mind, Taylor leaves the reader behind to languish with the long-gone hobo's empty tent. Taylor is certainly a writer to watch. But in the end, it is the title I like best. Luan Gaines/2011.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Could be great
  

*by N***1 on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2011*

This novel had the ability to create an amazing character and/or an amazing story from the plot alone.The novel is very compelling, and keeps the reader engaged all the way to the quick, ambiguous end. It was like climbing a mountain and falling off a cliff.I am looking at other writtings from J. Taylor to see if he hit the mark on his short stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    should have been better
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2011*

With this authors obvious talent and the fascinating topic I was surprised how it fell a little flat--- With that being said it is a worthwhile read
