Agincourt Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Since no one else has stepped up to say anything about the most recent 5CBC selection, The Pastel Cowboy, I thought I would at least start a thread about it, even though I have very little to say. I simply had trouble relating to the Forrest-Gump-meets-Holden-Caulfield quality of the main character (Zach), not to mention the rather extreme and often absurd happenings. There is an unremitting bleakness about the story, coupled with an increasing sense of the absurd. As I posted earlier, it really was not my cup of tea. I guess in a way it's the kind of piece that might appeal to someone who really liked the film Pulp Fiction. That, unfortunately, is not me. Perhaps someone else has something more substantive to say about the story. I don't. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
