Chaperoning Grad Nite at Disneyland... Spending eight hours in the Prospective Juror holding room... Reading AP exam essays for fifty-six hours... Detoxing from an addiction to prescription narcotics... Travelling 7000 miles to present a paper at a literary conference in Antwerp, Belgium... In this collection of narrative and critical essays, Ryan M Blanck explores the "irony of the banal" in these situations and others. Influenced by the writing style of David Foster Wallace and heavily footnoted, Supposedly Fun Things... offers candid reflections on some of life's most ordinary - and extraordinary - events.
