same thing that every other Great _______ Novel is abt

there needs to be a heavy dose of nihilism in there. commercialism. the desperate pursiot of fame & money & once accomplished the quick realization of how vapid it all is. ennui. sex. drugs. white people envy. culture vultures. rap music. that weird simultaneous 'we the shit/we aint shit' thing Black ppl got down pat. etc etc
