Reader Feedback on "Desert Island"
i'd read all the hype in regards to willy vlautin and really, really wanted to like 'motel life' but couldn't get through it. although his prose styling is reminiscent of a bukowski or ray carver he lacks the storytelling ability. i got bored when for the fifth time in 'motel life' a character went into some random storytelling mode because he liked to 'tell stories' but it was really just a weak gimmick. sure, the stories within the story weren't bad but added nothing to the narrative. plus, simply writing bare bones shouldn't immediately garner comparisons to carver or hemingway or the like.

How fucking cool is it to see someone writing, and writing well, about the place I call home? Who can't relate to drinking (or whatever) to quiet the internal critic? I immediately ordered these books. Super cool.
