This is trivial but I think this is the only place people will know who I’m talking about. I’ll start by saying that I liked Real Life well enough (a bit too IWW for my taste) and I haven’t yet read Filthy Animals, but I was following him on Twitter for a while and I just find him so grating. I also read some profiles on him to maybe better understand why a lot of people are so into his internet presence, and stumble on a quote where he said that contemporary fiction is so self-obsessed, which I don’t disagree with, but find kind of ironic considering the scope of his work (clearly autofictional in many ways).

Idk, am I alone in this?
