A review by jenmcmaynes
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by David Foster Wallace

3.0

I found the more traditional stories in this collection largely forgettable. However, the series of 'interviews' were outstanding. Each monologue captured each man's unique, monstrous attitudes towards women. Some were out and out pigs, some couched their selfishness in new age wokeness, some masked rage and distaste through superiority and condescension. This was helped by the fact that I listened to the audio version of the book and the actors who read the interviews did a top notch job. I actually found some hard to listen to because they felt so realistic. DFW's writing and insight for the interviews is amazing.
