NP - Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry

[Mark Kohut]

yes, when i was a virtual kid...loved it...loved the IDEA IN it, which is why I 
read it.
I think, and maybe not to my best, it entered, partially,an attitude to life in 
me.

Slighter than lots we talk about, it seems in retrospect, but that may be
due to the distancing of time. 

I never wanted to read it again after he killed himself. Just me, I know.

Have any P-listers read this?

Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry (1973) is the penultimate novel by
the late British avant-garde novelist B. S. Johnson. It is the
metafictional account of a disaffected young man, Christie Malry, who
applies the principles of double-entry bookkeeping to his own life,
"crediting" himself against society in an increasingly violent manner
for perceived "debits".
