Sorry Please Thank You by Charles Yu
5.0
Funny, moving, whip-smart, beautiful, and so, so creative. I enjoyed all of the stories and loved a lot of them, and the last one in particular is deadly. I want to read something new by this guy every day.
"The sorry cancels itself out, and it might only mean this: that happened to you, and I can see that it hurt, and I am going to say this word, sorry, that corresponds to something, a vector, a medium of propagation and/or force-carrying particle that allows transmission or communication of sorry, or the related but not identical state of sorryness, a mysterious action-at-a-distance between humans that allows one human, separated in space and time from another human, to impart upon the other an influence, an effect. The state of being sorry."
