Missed this when it went out 3 months ago. From minute 5.16, Eric Karl Anderson expresses his excitement about reading The Coast of Everything. I wonder has he got to it yet.

In The Rumpus, Travis Alexander on Devin Jacobsen's THE SUMMER WE ATE OFF THE CHINA: "These stories donât offer diagnosis nor cure. They offer a way of staying with discomfort without converting it to identity or spectacle."
loading . . .
What Holds: Manners and Memory in "The Summer We Ate Off the China" - The Rumpus
This refusal to treat trauma as singular or sacred, to set it apart from the texture of ordinary life, is among the collectionâs quietly bracing achievements. Jacobsonâs stories donât deny suffering. But they do deny it the dignity of exception or theatricality. Pain, here, is neither moral credential nor explanatory master key. Itâs just part of the price of living among others from whom we are always alienated.
