My favorite JR so far. First read it years ago, I keep coming back. What is the point of a Fourth wall, anyway, unless you know how to break it, stomp on it, and walk away laughing. The performers are perfect for the parts. Well done, all.
Is it not truly silly that Forbes has even his most repulsive characters say ‘frig’, ‘frigging’ and ‘frigger’? This series is full of obscenity, profanity and sadism. There are even some references to pedophilia. In context, ‘frig’ and its derivations are completely anomalous in a story so replete with truly offensive language and topics. If..

I can be a tough pill to swallow looking at one’s personal motives. The Elephant in the Brain shows us some interesting psychological aspects of ourselves.
