California Book Award-winner Greer presents a hilarious and immaculately written story set in L.A., exploring the inevitability of failure. The Failure is a picaresque novel about two guys who conceive and badly execute a plan to rob a Korean check-cashing store in order to finance the prototype for an impossibly ridiculous Internet application.
The main character, Guy Forget, is a 20-something drifter with brains, good looks, and absolutely no ambition except to get rich without having to work. His best friend, Billy, is a professional dog walker who ties the dogs to the rear bumper of his run-down car and drives very slowly. Along the way we meet, among others, Guy's Midwestern parents; his theoretical-physicist brother; his girlfriend, Violet McKnight; and his secret nemesis, Sven Transvoort, who hates Guy with unusual passion for reasons that are not immediately clear.
While the story of The Failure is fairly straightforward, the manner of its telling is anything but; it begins at the end, and proceeds in similarly nonlinear fashion to a conclusion that will surprise either nobody or everybody, depending on who has been paying attention. Using elements of pop culture, tech jargon, and noirish satire, the book attempts to answer the question not enough people ask themselves on a regular basis Am I a failure?

The Failure is a fantastic leap forward for James Greer. His previous novel, Artificial Light, was an insightful, dense look at myth, Midwestern drunkenness and the meaning of life. The Failure is a jazz riff of a heist book. It's jumbled narrative provides an exciting tool for loading up a story full of hilarious rants, cockeyed moneymaking schemes and a tangled love story.I'm excited to see where Greer heads next.

The Failure (Audible Audio Edition) James Greer Tadhg Hynes Iambik Audio Inc Books Reviews
Wow, only 1 review so far!? I listened to the audiobook from iambik and thought it a laugh riot. Great satire on Silicon Valley. The (Irish-born) narrator Tadhg Hynes is a perfect match for this text. He reads pretty rapidly, but that makes it more fun....
