In Posts from Suburbia, George Guida satirizes the life that most Americans have come to know: the life of lawn care, man caves, shopping clubs, mall cops, gym memberships, murky faith, easy sex in the shadows, cut-rate shrinks, gun-toting postmen, sad cable guys, infinite hobbying, endless holiday decoration, casual bigotry, home improvement, bouncy houses, wedding halls, canned wakes, e-loneliness, ignorant know-it-alls, fridge magnets, yard statues, pool dolphins, trains to nowhere, and moons that won’t give up.

At the heart of it all stands Bill, a child of the suburbs who has returned, dumped by his girlfriend, and holding unused degrees from a city university—a still-young man struggling to find a new life among the characters who populate his world, his memory, and his blog.

Complex and fully realized characters enhance the great plotting and atmosphere. As the characters work thorugh their personal quirk and foibles, their development of personal code is revealed. A great tale of the gritty life in today’s Boston. Well done!
