"Forever Overhead" takes place in Tucson, Arizona, and concerns the pains and tribulations of puberty for a thirteen-year-old boy who goes swimming on his birthday. "Death is Not the End" speaks in detail about the flabby body and visage of a successful American poet, along with the lush greenery of the plants that surround him in his backyard as he reads an issue of Newsweek magazine. The first story, "A Radically Condensed History of Postindustrial Life," is only two paragraphs long, introducing the themes of the difficulty of dating, relationships, and social anxiety. The stories, particularly the four that take the form of the "Brief Interviews" of the title, have been adapted on both stage and screen, including a 2009 film version directed by John Krasinski.
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men is a 1999 short story collection by the acclaimed American writer David Foster Wallace.
