I read Benjamin Anastas’s novel An Underachiever’s Diary a while back and liked it.  I read these Salon and Daily Beast excerpts from his new memoir Too Good to Be True today and I feel profoundly anxious about money, relationships, and–most of all–writing as a career.

      OK SURE, it sucks when people don’t like your book. His story sounds like the script to the shitfest film “The Words.” His story comes off as the most pretentious humblebrag I think i’ve ever read! I’d give a lot to have at least a moderate percentage of his success

      What are you giving now to get that moderate percentage of his moderate success?
