I first read Dangerous Laughter, one of his short story collections back in college. It have thought of it often since but only recently picked up a couple more of his short story collections. he might be the best to ever do it. Every time I read a story of his I am like yup, this is it, this is writing. The absolute pinnacle of the form. he is my alpha and omega. you will never ever regret reading a story of his (unless you have shitty taste in literature)

These short stories made me feel naked and uncomfortable and also made me laugh, like guffaw level laugh a couple times. If you ever feel absurd and lost especially in a city social scene or in your family or in your dating life here is a book for all of the above. Also has the original short story that Secretary is very loosely based on (definitely a different story and much darker tone).

Great resource to explore sub genres of your choosing - but I especially enjoy perusing the history of electronic music movements and how different cultures influenced each other over the last 30+ years across this little planet of ours. cool stuff!
