“French Exit”

“There’s a thing happening. Kevin Wilson wrote the Family Fang. Patrick deWitt wrote this. And both novels feel a little like a Wes Anderson movie. I mean that in a good way. I feel like it’s popular to hate on Wes Anderson and his twee style, but I’ve never left one of his movies dissatisfied. Maybe Steve Zissou. I know, it’s a sin. You know I travel in certain circles when I feel bad saying that Life Aquatic disappointed me. I feel the same thing about Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I feel bad saying that I thought it kinda sucked, and I also feel like the circles I travel in would want me out of their circle. But now I’m out of the Wes Anderson circle AND the Tobe Hooper circle. Those might not sound like big circles, but they mean something to me, damn it!”
