Rejection discussion

1. Initial thoughts?
2. What do you think of Tony Tulathimutte's writing style and voice? Did you like the various narrative styles used throughout book?
3. Did the usage of satire and humour work for you?
4. 'Rejection' appears to be the unifying theme of all the short stories. Could you name other themes tieing the short stories together?
5. Which short story and its characters resonated with you the most? And were there any that didn't?
6. What are some moments or scenes in the book that stood out to you?
7. Tulathimutte was quoted saying: "In the same way that rejection itself is dialectical in nature (you throw yourself at something, it throws you back), I wanted each piece of the book to somehow refute the one before it, and in different ways each time." - What did you think of the order of the short stories? And do you think Tulathimutte's approach here worked?
8. What did you think of the endings of each of the short stories? And ultimately, how they serve the themes?
9. You wake up one day as one of the 'Rejection' protagonists and will have to live out their story as written. Which one would you choose to be?
