Not since Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" have I felt a surge inside of me after reading a collection of short stories. With SWWLYAYDG it is an intensely curated mishmash of stories built to rollercoaster your feelings in ways unimaginable. The type where you can't binge this in one go because every single story is made to hit you somewhere. It could be about firm lawyers, or bizarre wedding rituals, or scientists walking into doors, but the feelings are just the same.
It's a considerable flex that Raphael Bob-Waksberg can write prose like this that stands quite differently (or complimentary) to his work on Bojack Horseman. A clear display of talent and finesse at work.
