The press release for Elephant by David Grant claims that it's GitLit. And what's GitLit? Well it's "the new fiction genre for men to express their feelings about
the modern world without having to be either action men like Jason
Bourne or tearful confessionals like About A Boy."
Excuse me, I thought that was Lad Lit. But there's more...
"In Elephant, our hero struggles to combine innocence and optimism with
the grinding realities of a life he’s come to disdain. He’s a
forty-six-year-old corporate casualty playing the Clash on his Ipod."
Yep, sounds like Lad Lit to me. Check it out - and read the first chapter - at the website and let me know what you think!
