One Damn Thing After Another
by
Tim Hall (Goodreads Author)
One Damn Thing After Another builds on the themes of word contagion and weaponized memes that the author explored in his previous book, 2009’s How America Died. Many of the characters in these stories have likewise been sickened by language: they exchange psychotic emails, adopt covert online personas, write fictitious book reviews and preach the authoritarian philosophies...more

Hall delivers us eight varied stories, variations on different personas and personality types. There's lot of playful fun with modern forms: the absurdity review pages (like this one) can take on (creating weird alternate worlds), the effects emails can have on a day, purely text-based-personas people can live behind, disclaimers and the stories they disclaim.

Wickedly funny stuff here. Hall engages in some of the best absurdist satire I've read in quite a while. The writing is brash, arrogant, clever and literarily well crafted at the same time. On the edge of being 5 stars. I'll definitely be looking for more by this author.
While the Tim Hall is a funny dude, the pieces in this collection reflect just how well he does humor. It also reflects something that is as Hallian as anything. Tim Hall is indie, and few people capture and dissect the indie scene and scenesters like him.
Sharp as all hell, original, funny. Brilliant writing.
I highly recommend.

Independent author and publisher. Two novels, HALF EMPTY and FULL OF IT, and a collection of stories, TRIUMPH OF THE WON'T. New collection coming February 2010 from Outsider Writers Press called ONE DAMN THING AFTER ANOTHER. My style is something I call Screwball Tragedy, finding the humor in pain and the ambivalence in redemption. Love, lust, and loss; conflict and confusion. Writing and reviews...more
