WORTH CONSUMING!
I really don’t like to read short stories. I usually find them unsatisfying. That notwithstanding, Lethem is an interesting writer who isn’t afraid to experiment, and sometimes the short story can be the best medium for experimentation. In some cases, such as the stories “Access Fantasy” and “Super Goat Man,” he pulls it off. In others, I was left wondering what the point was. But in general, this is a more interesting and therefore readable collection than most.
