註釋

This debut novel of violence and boredom in the heartland has been critically acclaimed.One begins to read Jim Kalin's One Worm believing that it gives a vivid but not very significant look at the hairy belly of a group of people caught in desperation, more than a little madness, and enough deprivation to turn one's stomach, but it isn't long before the book and its meaning deepens and we realize that it gives the hairy belly of most, if not all, of us. Here is a writer to watch. -- Harry Crews, author of The Mulching of AmericaOne Worm is a white-hot violent look at disenfranchised urban members of what could be called Generation Y. Brimming with the seedy side of midwestern city life, this brilliant novel explores ritual violence and thuggery and scarification among a group of nihilistic anti-society twentynothings and their Cleveland clubland existence.
