Charles Yu experiments with form and genre to explore the stories we tell ourselves while navigating contemporary life. In "Third Class Superhero," a would- be good guy must come to terms with the darkness in his heart. A couple living in the Luxury Car Commercial subdivision in "401(k)" are disappointed when their exotic vacation turns into a Life Insurance/Asset Management pitch. The author struggles to write the definitive biography of his mother in "Autobiographical Raw Material Unsuitable for the Mining of Fiction." In these and other stories, Yu's characters run up against the conventions and parameters of their artificial story lines while tackling the terrifying aspects of existence: mothers, jobs, spouses, the need to express feelings. Heartbreaking, hilarious, smart, and surprising, "Third Class Superhero "marks the arrival of an impressive new talent.

Interesting depictions of human interaction and consumerism. 母子互動段落讀得好生心酸啊啊啊 每個短篇都寫得彷如短片! - I tell her ennui is an emotion for rich people. It is like boredom, but more refined, like high-thread-count bed-sheets. / - All stories are failed stories, I say. All real stories are stories that failed at being the ideal story.
评分基本上全書都是在地鐵裏讀完的,每一個故事都深深被戳中,聰明極瞭的陳述敘事,深深的無力感,不稱重,輕佻又帶著戲謔,
评分brilliant except minor mistakes in physics...
