Picked up an actual copy for money. The epigraphs hit home even more than in college.

I do like how the iceberg approach gives things power. Something untold, and barely even shown, gains power. It is the monster under the bed. When Jake interacts with others, every roil of his psyche contains a shark.

Every one of the main characters is so utterly hosed by their own traumas that all they can do is make each other miserable.

And drink, abuse animals, and beat the snot out of people, and ruin the things they love in the world with their tourism.
