To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris

  










I didn't enjoy this novel. 
I thought it would be funny but it wasn't.  Amusing, yes. Thought-provoking, sure. Funny no!
It combines a mishmash of topics: baseball, Judaism, and dentistry and they never quite add up to a cohesive whole.
I struggled at times with the multi-page paragraphs and the general ceaselessness of switching between inner monologues and first person.
