September 20 is the 1-year birthday of the novel Most Famous Short Film of All Time. Thank you, today and every day, for your time.
"Stop. I saw you about to click away from this review. I promise you, this will make sense.
Or rather, you will make sense of it when you experience the book. The sense you make may vary from the sense I have made — the senses I have made, really, forming a new one each of the three times I’ve read Short Film.
As I read, what sorts of ideas come ricocheting in? Sheesh — the nature of time, the nature of reality, being trans, being Jewish, storytelling, logic and its limits, pop culture, evil… yadda yadda, I could list themes ad absurdum, and what would you have? A boring list-review that would likely scare you off of the book. “What,” you’d ask, “am I to make of all this?”
That’s the point."
