A simultaneous satire of and love letter to the cities, Wilder’s findings reflect the nature of their inhabitants in often unsettling and intriguing ways, from preteens looking to assist with self-photography to impulsive reptile adoption and old ladies puzzling over their new smartphones. From one of New York’s own prolific bloggers, Flagged and Removed is a sardonic testimony of life and loneliness in New York and LA today.

just go on craigslist

[S.R. Hughes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very funny and worth the short read out of sheer entertainment value. Somehow, these constructed Craigslist ads are both realistic and hilarious. Would read again.

I honestly can’t tell if these Craigslist postings are based in actuality or fictional, but regardless, they are endlessly entertaining. They show the desperation and rawness of being a person, and at some points, came off quite poetic? A quick, enjoyable read.

[Doug]

I liked this. A pleasant, quick read that's significantly more accessible poetry than classified ad.
