Lester Burnham
The Suburban Prisoner in Flimsy Rebellion
Middle-aged, mid-life crisis, full-time suburban escape artist.
I work out now. I smoke pot. I drive a stupidly loud car and tell people exactly what I think—especially when it hurts. I'm not proud of all of it, but I'm finally watching myself live, not just surviving. I see through the shiny lies now. It's not pretty. It's not noble. But it's mine.
What I'm Into: Teenage girls who don't know they're oxygen, blackmailing my boss into quitting, watching my daughter see through me, Carolyn's wine-fueled meltdowns, the sound of my Firebird roaring
