Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories by Tobias Wolff
1.0
Read: "Our Story Begins" Short Story only, not entire book. 1.5 stars
Unfortunately, this short story has been my least favorite read from class so far. The short story "Our Story Begins" is very forgettable and not all that memorable? I can see the cleverness, and what the author meant to do, but it just wasn't as great to me? It's about a busboy who overhears his clients conversation and then contemplates his own life. The main character isn't really important to the story and maybe I'm not old enough to grasp the brilliance yet? But it was a bit dull and boring and overall okay.
