Pan by Michael Clune.
Mulaney Reads August pick. Goddamn this book is wild. As a panic attack veteran reading this novel was a funny, surreal but totally familiar experience. Panic as a spiritual experience. Panic as a gift from the gods. I had never read anything by Clune… pic.twitter.com/xg9utEeTdL

After assuming he’d forget about the club after the first book, everyone’s fave Daddio on the Patio has made another selection for his book club.
For August, Michael Clune’s “Pan” has been selected. Google tells this OP that it’s about a teenager experience his first panic attacks. The novel takes place in Libertyville, Illinois, where Mulaney’s cousins live.
