Published when Wallace was just twenty-four years old, The Broom of the System stunned critics and marked the emergence of an extraordinary new talent. At the center of this outlandishly funny, fiercely intelligent novel is the bewitching heroine, Lenore Stonecipher Beadsman. The year is 1990 and the place is a slightly altered Cleveland, Ohio. Lenore's great-grandmother has disappeared with twenty-five other inmates of the Shaker Heights Nursing Home. Her beau, and boss, Rick Vigorous, is insanely jealous, and her cockatiel, Vlad the Impaler, has suddenly started spouting a mixture of psycho- babble, Auden, and the King James Bible. Ingenious and entertaining, this debut from one of the most innovative writers of his generation brilliantly explores the paradoxes of language, storytelling, and reality.

这书要是翻译的话是不是堪比乔伊斯的芬妮根啊，文字游戏和自造词撑起来的一部很有趣的作品。

Highly recommend audible version of this, performance made this piece even more hilarious. Hard to follow plot at first cuz the jumps and kinda weird divisions of chapters and segments but overall characterization is brilliant. The novel has its own system of language. Could’ve been better if the missing of grandma Lenore plot line was completed.
