Review: Better than some of his other work

I've read at least one other work by Close and this is much better than, say,Ask the Page, Three stories for frustrated writers.  I can see what he is trying to accomplish here and some of the fragments (or "Tweet stories," as he calls them) are thought-provoking.They are kind of like flash fiction, but they aren't totally self-contained.  The reader will have to do their own work to imagine what happens right before or right after the "story."  Honestly, it is what we do with reading all the time, but Close is taking it to an extreme.Some of them are clever, but after a few dozen, fatigue starts to set in.  You begin to long for something more.  Maybe reading in little bits might be a better idea than reading them all at once.Note:  I downloaded this when it was free.  The current price is $1.99, which is feel is somewhat ridiculous for the overall length of the book.
