Alright, my
first reaction was: What kind of title is that? REEJECTTLLON? What?
What
is ReejecttIIon? ReejecttIIon is that which is not fit for the mainstream that
work of fiction that is outside standardized thought, cultural hegemony, the
dominant ideology, or any other label that represents what others admire and
which this book is not; it is also, ironically, outside the subversive language
I just used to subvert the mainstream; it is indifferent to the critique of the
mainstream because it is too cool for that critique; thus it is the critique of
the critique of the mainstream. The critique of the critique of the critique of
the mainstream is called ReejectIIIon.
What?
It would seem that these guys were
just making sh#t up.
The whole book was satirical skit of
rejection in the forms of letters, idea pitches, cartoons, and flash fiction.
Some of this stuff was kind of funny,
but most of it was just plain weird and I didn’t get it.
Not that I have anything against
dark/weird comedies. In fact, I would almost classify this book as MAD Libs for
authors.
My rating: 3 stars
