The Pisstown Chaos

The nature of the world Ohle describes, with its frequent shiftings, forgettings, and outbreaks of chaos, precludes the kind of plotting that would allow this third novel to somehow provide a conclusion to a trilogy. Instead he offers us another ride into Bum Bay, Permaganate Island, and Pisstown itself. Stinkers, those near-dead who wander the landscape, play as large a role here as do the bowel movements of Ohle's characters. Very funny, very grim, and frequently repulsive. Excuse me, I have to check my stool for parasites now.
