"And I couldn't get it up..."

Well, hmm, an interesting one. I really liked the language. But it was very short. And nothing really happened. And I thought Henry was a vile human being.
I felt it was only really clever because it's part of a bigger literary movement. But standing on its own, it's just a series of snapshots of a wasted life, with the occasional monumentally-clever metaphor.
I'm going to put it on the shelf in my bathroom, and it starts at 8/10 for the super language, but loses half points for (-0.5) No Plot to speak of, (-0.5) Awful protagonist, (-0.5) Overratedness... so I'm giving it:
6.5/10
