(2) YA Reading John's monologues is like standing on shifting ground--why is his house not a house, inhabited by "the man who is not my father"? Compared to the way it ought to be, John's life--getting "WHOPPED" by his mom's abusive boyfriend, getting dumped by the divine Gloria--is not a life, but his self-deprecating, fatalistic commentary turns it into poignant black comedy.
