Third Class Superhero

 Third Class Superhero by Charles Yu, 173 pages.

This collection of short stories is hard to describe because many of them left me a little puzzled. The collection is described as Kafka-esque and I would say that seems pretty accurate. Broadly speaking many of the themes seem to come back to alienation. Yu has a very distinctive style, and I was definitely reminded of his novel Interior Chinatown. It's a strong short story collection overall, short and dense.
