商品描述内容简介The author of the widely praised debut novelHow to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universereturns with a hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly original collection of short stories.
A big-box store employee is confronted by a zombie during the graveyard shift, a problem that pales in comparison to his inability to ask a coworker out on a date . . . A fighter leads his band of virtual warriors, thieves, and wizards across a deadly computer-generated landscape . . . A company outsources grief for profit, their tagline: "Don't feel like having a bad day? Let someone else have it for you." Drawing from both pop culture and science, Charles Yu is a brilliant observer of contemporary society, filling his stories with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and piercing insight into the human condition. He has already garnered comparisons to such masters as Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, and inSorry Please Thank You, we have resounding proof of a major new voice in American fiction.作者简介CHARLES YU is the author ofHow to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. He received the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 Award for his story collectionThird Class Superhero. He has also received the Sherwood Anderson Fiction Award.
