My review:
October 22, 2014
Not going to lie: I don't often get what the writing in caketrain is going for. In fact I don't like a lot of the stuff they put in their magazine while i am reading it. It confuses me and kind of makes me uncomfortable. I find it frustrating that this sort of writing gets published and praised. I wish I was one of those people that could read one of these stories and bask in the strange glow of the disjointed words.
And yet each time I pick up a book after reading an issue of cake train the other work seems a bit paler, a bit shallower.
I don't get it.
I keep coming back to caketrain like an uncomfortable but hopelessly addictive substance. It puts all other writing into context by being so far away from all other kinds of writing.
i know every time I pick it up some weird shit is going to come out. I may not enjoy it totally, but I'll be a bit different afterwards, the ideas and ricks will have infiltrated my head a bit.

This little Journal definitely has some obvious neurological condition (Tourettes? schizophremia?) but that doesn't mean I don't love it to death.
