There must be novelists, I suppose, who've captured the directionless, meaningless banality of much of day-to-day existence?
Richard Rayner wrote in the Los Angeles Times that The Pale King's subjects are "loneliness, depression and the ennui that is human life's agonized bedrock, 'the deeper type of pain that is always there, if only in an ambient low-level way, and which most of us spend nearly all of our time and energy trying to distract ourselves from' [quoting Wallace]... The Pale King dares to plunge readers deep into this Dantean hell of 'crushing boredom,' suggesting that something good may lie beyond."
True, but a lot of it's just people asking to use the phone and sitting in restaurants.There's no way easton ellis's banality is as banal as listening to jamiroquai on radio 1 while you man the phone at a korean car company in a small market town
