Books like Under the 82nd Airborne

Goddamn it!This is my goddman third Eisenberg book. There’s only four! God damn it! This is what I get, this is what an epicurean lifestyle produces. Heed my example, people, I’ve got a long life to live with only one more Eisenberg book left. What kind of life could I possibly hope to have? Heed my folly. What’s great about Deb’s writing is that everything is airborne. All her adjective’s (as ornate as the King’s piesafe) are buoyant. They soar, stream, alight, bound, waft, you name any kind of movement that goes up and out and Ol Deb has used to express the gallimaufry of unseen and unobserved moments that constitute this life. What’s makes that interesting +1 is that her stories are so compressed. The actual nuts and bolts of the narrative is a cube of steel that used to be a car. Beethoven is the only other artist I can think of whose work is comparable to Eisenberg.Damn it. Four books. Four damn collections. Doesn’t it seem like she’s holding out on us? That for every book, another goes into the safe behind the picture frame. Does she care more about posterity than us? Is she afraid that she cracked the code on the lot of us and is just sparing us our humility? We need to start a Goodreads petition. And that’s what this is! I want everyone to sign this review agreeing that someone should bother Debora Eisenberg into churn out the work. I’m not fucking around here people. And once we got that done we can get some plasterboard and write it in macaroni or something.Who’s with me?!
