American Estrangement: Stories by Said Sayrafiezadeh

4.0

very interesting stories… his protagonists tend to be unaware, privileged, self righteous assholes who warrant little affection and yet i find myself caring for them. i especially love an introduction to estrangement, midnight, and the story about crossing borders. i wish he would write about disaffected diaspora more because he’s so good at it. he has a natural rhythm and uses repetition amazingly well. his prose is simple, not overly flowery or complicated but really hones in on whatever he’s describing.
