Lost in the Funhouse

Isabella Agostino

Has something legitimately gone wrong, or is going wrong the theme of the story, reflected in every possible plot scenario "going wrong"? Is going wrong the nature of PM writers? Is this a playful commentary on authorial control in the postmodern short story world? I love it

Matthew Royal

This is the first piece of meta-fiction I've read. Thanks, again, goes to our American Novels Since 1945 book club! Although I finished it a bit too late to participate in the discussion, I think I enjoyed it more having heard and read about passages in the book before reading them.

This book is very quotable.
