how does he keep getting away with it!!!!! what a master of language and interpretation of the modern world. every short story in this collection is evocative and genius in its own ways. highly recommend to anyone, especially wallace first-timers, as the majority of this collection is very accessible.

favorite stories: octet, adult world, church not built with hands, forever overhead (in contest with "the dead" as my favorite ever short story), and interviews #31, #42, and #20
