A Circle Is a Balloon and a Compass Both: Stories… di Ben Greenman

This definitely has the flavor of McSweeney's. Sometimes it's like really good McSweeney's and sometimes less good McSweeney's. I liked the first half better than the second half, but that might be due to circumstances extraneous to the book itself (like today while finishing it I slammed my thumb in a drawer and then I got a stomach ache).

Celebrity Chekhov: Stories by Anton Chekhov (P.S.) di Anton Chekhov

What a fun book. The author takes a collection of Chekhov stories and replaces all the characters with modern celebrities. The results are sometimes funny, but overall make the story just a little more relatable.

I listened to the audio and overall a fun listen.

What He's Poised to Do: Stories (P.S.) di Ben Greenman

The opener and title story is not this book's best. "What We Believe But Cannot Praise" towards the end, finally redeems it, but barely. Somehow the rhythm and flavor of this book makes me envy the illiterate a little.
