'Rejection' by Tony Tulathimutte
Oh my God, Rejection. How to describe this Gremlin of a book that taps into the interior lives and minds of undersexed, extremely online, infinitely rejected sadsacks? The title is the central theme, brilliantly and often shockingly rendered via a series of lightly connected stories that mine the depths of defeatism, nihilism, and alienation. The people in this book are pathetic—palpably so—but Tulathimutte's writing is so sharp and incisive, I left each story wanting pages upon pages more about each character as opposed to feeling weighed down by pity for their circumstances. —Perrie Samotin, digital director
