Talk:The Boomer Bible

message: The Boomer Bible is a profound, multifaceted work that can be approached on many levels.  The central theme of The Boomer Bible is the cynical self-interest of the Baby Boomer generation and their discovery of cocaine.  This is only the core, however, and there are layers upon layers.  In complexity, it is comparable to the Christian Bible, Greek mythology, or the works of Nietzsche, only funnier.  In some ways, it is also similar to the Tarot and the I Ching.  Most simplistically, it can be described as the worldview of the Baby Boomers as perceived by Punks itself as interpreted by the author.
Depending on the point of view of the reader, it is in places cynical, idealistic, burlesque, straightforward, satirical, hopeful, wistful, insulting, offensive, bigoted, fair, and vapid, but always scathing and always with more than appears on the surface.  What one derives from The Boomer Bible is largely dependent upon what one brings to the experience.  It requires an exegesis to explore fully.  Historians may dismiss the books of history as inaccurate and reductionistic; sociologists may laugh with recognition at the social commentary; activists may become offended.  Some may see Harry as a simple demon or evil man; others will see him as a tragic figure; and yet others may wonder what the problem is.  All readers will see parts of themselves in The Boomer Bible, including parts that they do not like.

message: Removed from this category. It doesn't fit there. It seems to be more a parody and many would find it offensive. -Vsmith 05:00, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I've added this to this NovelsWikiproject and moved it to the "1991 novels" category (instead of "1991 books" because at the time of its release it was promoted as a novel of sorts. Granted the form isn't conventional, but since there are references to it as such I think it's fair to include it in the project. 23skidoo 01:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
