In this utterly unconventional novel -- or is it a memoir? -- Leyner gives a reading in the food court of a New Jersey shopping mall. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \"audience\" consists of Mark's mother and some stray Panda Express employees, who ask a handful of questions. The action takes place entirely at the food court, but the territory covered in these pages has no bounds.  A joyride of autobiography, cultural critique, DIY philosophy, biopolitics, video games, demagoguery, and the most intimate confessions, \u003ci\u003eGone with the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is both a soulful reckoning with mortality and the tender story of the relationship between a complicated mother and an even more complicated son. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At once nostalgic and acidic, deeply humane, and completely surreal, \u003ci\u003eGone with the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of pure, hilarious genius.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891322581221,"sku":"NP9780316323277","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_b80a43ff-901e-4f7c-a500-94e47615126e.jpg?v=1773102419","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/gone-with-the-mind-isbn-9780316323277","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
