Goodjobbb Body Tackles A.M. Homes on the Beach
“The story is self-consciously conventional. It seems aware of itself as ‘a New Yorker story.’ A bunch of wealthy white East Coast friends who cheat on each other with each other drinking mimosas on the beach and talking about food, fitness, Sontag. Tennis or the boat? Their lives are empty and the conversation is supersuperficial — but does this really mean the story is a critique of this sort of life?” Goodjobbb spends some serious time with A.M. Homes’s short story “Brother On Sunday.”
