It's been a struggle, what with the first 58% being hard core MFA style writing. Like, I'm not built for pages and pages of highbrow colonoscopy-themed satirical cultural analysis (which I flipped through fast while shielding my eyes). I finally made it to the Austen fanfic, which is what I was here for. It occupies the latter 42% of the book.

The cover says stories. That's not accurate. Some chapters are, like, long stream of consciousness meditations on cross-cultural Japanese icons? Those chapters are extremely MFA and I just had to skip them. I'm a third of the way through the book and the Jane Austen inspired stuff hasn't started yet.
