Sorry Please Thank You by Charles Yu

4.0

There are a couple of masterpieces here--I especially liked "Hero Absorbs Major Damage" and "Standard Loneliness Package"--but most of the stories share the same bleak, world-weary mood (imagine Alice Munro and Greg Egan collaborating on a story together). Toward the end the stories began to feel a little too samy, which detracted from their impact. But this is my fault for reading the whole book in two sittings instead of pacing myself. I should know by now to pace myself when I'm reading a single-author short-story collection.
