The Kitchens of Canton by Isham CookMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Kitchens of Canton by Isham Cook catapults the reader through time and space as our anti-hero, Jeff Malmquist, finds himself in New Gary, Indiana. A provocative comedy of errors, with hints of Hunter S. Thompson and Kurt Vonnegut running through it, this is a mind bending story that must certainly resemble an acid trip. While a spiky, enthralling commentary on the political meanderings of modern society, Cook throws in a good measure of sexual romps, androids, and future realms that tax the brain. Unless you can read various languages, much of the book is not readable. Breeze past that, and there is rampant humor and human degradation. Entertaining with a cutting edge, this book is wildly different and not to be missed.
