Let me just mention that the prose style here is a tribute to the work of JP Donleavy. Now, imagine reading an entire Donleavy novel written in that mode! You can be glad I only gave you a short story!

I would say it might be because I read it in the context of one of di Filippo’s weaker collections, but since you’re not reading it in the context of impressive stories, that’s probably not it.
