SUMMARY:Paradise City Readers: "Gone with the Mind" by Mark Leyner
DESCRIPTION:Respectful\, queer/LGBT-friendly\, easy-going bunch who want an 
 excuse to get out more and talk about books. And have some snacks. Meetings 
 take place on the first Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. You can reach our 
 group at paradisecityreaders@gmail.com. \n\nThis month's discussion will be 
 about: Gone with the Mind by Mark Leyner\n\nAbout the book: Leyner gives a 
 reading in the food court of a New Jersey shopping mall. 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\, Gone with the 
 Mind is both a soulful reckoning with mortality and the tender story of the 
 relationship between a complicated mother and an even more complicated son. 
 At once nostalgic and acidic\, deeply humane\, and completely surreal\, 
 Gone with the Mind is a work of pure\, hilarious genius.\n\n
