Book Reviews of Tattoo (Thompson, Earl)
Book Review: A "Great American Novel"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second book in his presumably autobiographical trilogy, and certainly the grandest for vision and scope. Thompson is not for the squeamish for he reports everything (and experiences it, too) in magnificent detail. In the liner bio he says he is "of the people" of whom he writes, and the stark sense of disenfranchisement and moral futility that permeates him and his "people" (and many of the rest of us) is apparent wherever Jack finds himself in his global journey. Without question, he captures the sense of being "American" without ever resorting to cheap parody or overblown historical contrivance. For the reader who wants to feel as well as think, Thmopson can't be beat.
