I'm the Midnight Specialist is about the plight of perplexion, the distress of confusion trying to base oneself in reality knowing there are dimensions around it.If you have run the physiological gauntlet you may find great empathy in this book.Over 500 short chapters looking at how the author tries to maintain his foothold albeit struggling with a broken heart and a past that includes seeing ghosts and spaceships with others present.This book looks at the authors relationship with lovers, friends and family, various jobs and conversations with people he meets over a 10 year period. Less cynical than Rollins more main character than Kerouac, get this book for the train or bus ride to work. You're going to laugh, you're going to smile, you may even shed a tear or two but one thing is for sure this is the book that will take you on a trip like no other.
