You Are Here - book, book, book

You Are Here by Wesley Gibson, they call it it a “memoir of arrival” and I suppose that it is.  It’s about a writer moving to NYC, his search for a place to live, his odd roommates, his sick roommate, his writing, his teaching of a writing class, etc.  While I enjoy his writing style, I didn’t think the story had much substance to it.  When I finished it, I thought basically, “Is that all there is?” So, to sum it up, he writes well, but I’m sure I’d much prefer another attempt on his part.

To be fair, I read it quite a while ago and had to read the back cover to refresh my memory about the story itself.  Then again, because I didn’t really remember all that much of it, perhaps that in and of itself means something.  I have tons of books awaiting quickie reviews, so beware, I just may get to them.
