The Fun Parts
by Sam Lipsyte
There were two short stories in this story collection by Sam Lipsyte that I enjoyed about as much as I can enjoy when reading--The Dungeon Master and Ode to Oldcorn. I laughed all through both of those and I wish I could have read about the characters in The Dungeon Master for another 200 pages. It took me to my D & D memories of my own teenage years. There's also a funny story about a conversation between a drone weapon and its commander--that might be in the drone's imagination. In Lipsyte's world a drone can talk to itself or others. This is my introduction to Lipsyte and he has a real talent for quirky dialogue and eccentrics but as usual with short story collections, some I liked less. But the high of the two I mentioned made this collection well worth reading.
