I enjoyed it. She reminds me a little bit of Houellebecq in the way she has these jaundiced narrators doing something to an extreme and also fearlessly skewering the way people fall in with whatever the current societal party lines are. Also she is unafraid to have a weird (aka non-traditional (traditional being “I learned something” or “I grew as a person”), nihilistic-type (but from this devastating wreckage a new beginning, of course)) ending.
I never want to like the thing that most everyone is liking @ any given moment, but I’ve dug everything I’ve read by her, this, Eileen, and the short stories the most, I’d say. Funny riff on alternative dudes who read DFW pp 32-33, gets quoted a lot, but all the book is compelling, very satisfying.

I would include Delillo’s Underworld there as well, just for the ambience of the cover. Also maybe Mao II.

Steve Erickson’s Shadowbahn would fit, in my mind!
