The Pickup Artist - Terry Bisson

2001; 240 pages. Genre : Fiction; Satire. Overall Rating : "B".

I like Terry Bisson books. His stories are always set in slightly-futuristic worlds, with lots of vivid details. His books are hard to find, but if you see one in your local library or used-book store, give him a try.

My review in 50 words or less...
Think Fahrenheit 451. There's too much art (paintings, movies, music CD's and albums, books) in the world. Some of it needs to be deleted, so new art can replace it. Hank Shapiro is okay doing this, until he picks up a Hank Williams album, for whom he was named.
