![]() ![]() The only thing stopping Paul from believing in Vince is himself – and that is one obstacle Paul can’t quite seem to overcome. But when Paul hits Vince with his car – in a completely unintentional if-he-died-it’d-only-be-manslaughter kind of way – he’s forced to see Vince in a whole new light. Vince must be messing with him, because there is no way Vince could want someone like Paul.

Maybe – I do really miss Hollywood Video. How can you expect to capture a whole decade in a few hundred pages? Especially as Klosterman’s central argument is that it was during the 90s when time, memory, and our understanding of world events collapsed into something of a sloppily mediated metanarrative. And yeah, he gets a little lost in the swirl of his own ideas here and there, but what honest pontificating 90s slacker doesn’t? It’s all the more forgivable, because, really, he does a pretty darn good job at an impossible task. And yes, that’s the generic, generalized ‘we’ – were, he asks, the 90s the last era of American monoculture? Klosterman is most insightful when he’s going back to view things through the eyes of people as they lived through it – the Seinfeld finale, the siege in Waco, The Real World, OJ’s white Bronco, Nirvana’s earth-shaking pep rally - this is how it felt as it happened. What’s great about this book is how Klosterman surveys the years past to understand how we understood the world at the time. Fortunately, he’s mostly uninterested in retrospective reevaluation and generally steers clear of ‘you couldn’t do that today!’ finger wagging, though he has his moments. ![]() ![]() Klosterman would like to set the record straight. Maybe it’s no surprise that a guy born smack in the middle of the Gen X years, whose salad days align pretty much exactly within the confines of 90s, is a little persnickety at the swell of nostalgia for the decade. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, that's not permitted because those in charge think it would easily become addictive and they don't want to deal with lawsuits that could stem from users getting hooked on that kind of experience. The strangeness starts with the first story, "Pre-Simulation Consultation XF007867," a tale consisting entirely of dialogue in which someone wants to spend time with their dead mother in a simulation. Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century contains 12 stories that are very different from each other but that share cohesive elements that give the collection a sense of unity. Kim Fu's Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century is a wildly imaginative collection in which elements of science fiction, fantasy, and even crime fiction blend together in a maelstrom of entertaining darkness that peels away layers of normalcy to reveal the weird, creepy things at the core of each story. ![]() |
