Shadow Year Narrator=Jesus' Son??

I know this is a complete stretch since apparently the book is mostly autobiographical but the entire time I was reading it I kept being reminded of the book Jesus' Son which is set-up much like this one with many different, almost journal like, entries making up the book. If you've read Jesus' Son, you'll immediately recognize why this is a stretch because the narrator and main character is involved in some pretty heavy drug use and many other adult situations. But he also goes through so many insane situations and tells them in a very matter of fact way that really reminded me of the narrator of The Shadow Year. Also a similarity between the two is that neither character ever gives out his real name over the course of the book. I really like this idea of literature as a place where characters can be transported from story to story and while the narrator in The Shadow Year is just a kid, I could easily see how all of these situations like being stalked by Mr. White, his Mickey Mouse imitating, cigarette smoking little sister, and his often drunk mother could turn him into the very guarded and very troubled main character from Jesus' Son.
