The titular story is famously amazing

An important component of "The Pederson Kid" is the intentional use of a limited vocabulary to reflect the cognitive constraint of the narrator, his capacity to discern what's happening and determine why the other characters are saying and doing what they're doing. Gass spoke about it briefly in a conversation with Michael Silverblatt. I read the collection right after _Omensetter's Luck,_ and I also found it jarring how different Gass's style was. So much of the collection, like you said, is an exploration of metaphor and tone. As a Midwesterner, I actually recognize the inspiration for the title story. I really enjoyed the collection, but it is absolutely a different beast from _Omensetter_ and _The Tunnel_ (I've only read a dozen pages just to get a sense of it before tackling it next summer). EDIT: "Order of Insects" is phenomenal!

@@BookShore no prob! I was at least halfway through the story before the thought popped into my head, so I went back to the beginning. It makes way more sense knowing that from the start.

T@@BookShore I find that hard to believe you of course and a large part of me thinks you are messing around. How do you balance that dull lifeless/mechanical job with the wonders of boundless literature. I am a junior doctor and I am having a quarter life crisis of sorts as though I feel more passionate about discovering and reading literature than the prospect of my medical future at the moment. I know it’s alarming but I just can’t help it.
