The Fuck-up by Arthur Nersesian

I just finished reading the second of my literary holiday gifts. (The first being Microserfs by Douglas Coupland Adams (I suck! Thanks Mike)).
The Fuck-up is about a man's journey from a half life to hell and finally to a full developed life. The writing is engaging and clean. The story is very unsentimental and almost brutal. The main character is engaging but not entirely sympathetic. However, the story is wonderfully textured and remarkably entertaining. The story rings true with out feeling at all fake or entirely contrived. Many elements of being a young man living in a large urban environment are captured with both texture, and color.
