![]() ![]() I felt like my soul was being spoken to at points, and I think this book truly, finally made me understand and more importantly believe that its not just me that feels insecure about being insecure and insecure about feeling unable to share feelings of insecurity. "The Depressed Person" was equal parts hilarious and heart-rending, and I was also a huge fan of "A Radically Condensed History of Postindustrial Life," "Forever Overhead," and "Adult World," to name just a few. I was absolutely blown away, and this is now probably my all-time favorite short story collection. Now that I'm done with it, I wholeheartedly agree.ĭFW found ways to tell stories through etymological vocabulary notes, through confessions of failure, through one-sided conversations where the questions being answered are never heard. The reviews that were in the back of my IJ copy described it as an "assault on the short story format" and that peaked my interest, but I wasn't sure quite what that could have meant. Hi again, about a week ago I posted about my finishing of Infinite Jest, and that I was excited to read more of his stuff, in particular this collection. ![]()
