Have you ever looked into the eyes of a commuter? What did you see? Most see nothing. Wave Wattson, a fresh college graduate has decided that it's finally time to grow up and take some responsibility for his life. Unlike his friends who are all moving into New York City out of college, he has resolved to live at his childhood home on Long Island and commute to the city. Millions of people do this commute every day, how bad could it possibly be? Wave's commute on a good day is four hours, round trip. On a bad day, it can be more than five. On the worst days, it can be seven. Despite what his gut tells him, Wave continues trudging forward to his job as a marketing manager at a start-up CBD company via the Long Island Railroad. He tries to stay optimistic at first, taking the extra time to listen to podcasts, watch movies, and read books, but it isn't long before the train travel and chaos of New York City begins to devour him, one peak train ride at a time. This is the untold story of a group who suffers in silence; this is the commuter's story. But it's also a story about an outsider, someone who romanticizes New York City through the lens of Hollywood and fashion runways. And lastly, it's the story of our youth and the horrendous compromising financial positions that we have put them in. If this book doesn't convince you that serious work reform is needed in the United States, nothing will. Written in verse and ripe with hilarious footnotes, this verse novel is unlike anything you have ever read. Often compared to Infinite Jest, Slaughterhouse-Five, and House of Leaves, Friedman's debut novel will brutally grab you by the throat and demand to read. David Matthew Friedman's DON'T FORGET TO SCREAM! is a wickedly dark comedy coming of age bildungsroman meets late-stage capitalism horror with notes of Charlie Kaufman and Kafka that contemporary society desperately needs.
