I've never read anything else by O'Neil, other than maybe an article he wrote at one time but didn't realize it was him. I found this book visceral, insightful, sad, and also humorous (sometimes all in the same story). Most of these stories are just a few pages long, but there's almost always something interesting in them; a good insight, a good joke, a good turn of phrase. I'm not sure if it's that the author and I would appear to be similar ages, but a lot of the thoughts he put down really resonated with me. This might be one of those books that hits different at different ages.
