Bream Gives Me Hiccups di Jesse Eisenberg
2.7/5
Not every story hits its mark, and his style is consistent enough to edge toward predictable, but this is a worthy heir to Woody Allen collections like WITHOUT FEATHERS. Darker and more mordent, though, prompting some real cringes at times.
Most would (and some have) fit into the 'Shouts & Murmurs slot at the New Yorker. Overall a funny, psychologically astute mix of short tales.

humorous fiction/short stories. These are very sharp, a little sad, and a little mean (name-calling and poking fun of certain characters--intelligent readers are easily able to attribute that to the voice of the character narrating, but it still grates a little). If you aren't a fan of the New Yorker-style of pith, you likely won't enjoy this as much--I liked some of the stories but several of the other stories got really tiring, really quickly (fortunately you can always just skip those and start reading the next). I would not recommend this for a mainstream audience.… (altro)
A silly little read -- the reviews by the nine-year-old were my favorite, along with the letters from the college freshman to her high school counselor.
