I picked this up because I wanted a Donald Barthelme collection. I was disappointed. But I soldiered on.
He's fond of gimmicky/experimental narrative choices. Like writing in the second person. Which generally reads like this, to me: You are an adult male. You notice attractive women. Nothing much happens.
The inside of a refrigerator is described as "bright and precise" in the short story "Lumber." This was pretty much the highlight of any sentence in any story in this.
