review 1: Well shoot: Before MLP died, my book was going to get to stand beside this book, and I love this book.I think about the seeingers (sp?) in here a lot.Part of the success is that the businesses are so diverse. The gimmick persists throughout and yet is not exhausted. Some writers seem attracted to organizing principles because they genuinely love organizing. "Look at my individual specimens, aren't they well-labeled?" Matthias S (it seems) is instead simply looking for a suitable container to pour his brainpower into, so there is none of that over-managed quality in here.
review 2: This is the first Svalina book I've read. It is a collection of flash fictions that have some similarity to prose poems. Every sentence begins with the phrase 'i started this one busi... moreness', which leads to an absurd but visually 'pretty' concept. It feels like a long writing exercise. The broad concept of the book allows Svalina to touch on a wide range of abstract ideas and pretty visuals, and it continually returns to a vague critique of consumer culture. The language is very 'light', the approach is cute and accessible. I thought"I would assign this to a high school creative writing class" as I was reading it. overall it's serviceable and entertaining, but in general a lot of the pieces lacked depth. Every piece stumbles around looking for a point until settling on something it wants to say. I felt everything 'worked' more or less but in general the pieces felt unsatisfying. less
