One Rainy Day in May

One Rainy Day in May is by Mark Z. Danielewski. The first in the cyper-punk series called The Familiar. I would love to tell you what this book is about, but I'm not quite sure. It is written in a very experimental way and covers a strange variety of characters, from gang members to scientists to recovering addicts to game designers and therapists. It seems to center around a young girl named Xanther, whose father takes her out to buy a dog but instead rescues and brings home something else. This book is a challenging read, but worth the try if for nothing but the novelty.
