I bought Breaking It Down and I am intrigued and delighted with this author's compositions. I found a link to the first 3 short stories. I am especially interested to see what the Outpost conoscenti think about this:
Lydia Davis Experimental Fiction
I think The Fears of Mrs Orlando is my favorite of the 3. All 3 are only 16 pages.

WTF?
Bonk's tales are a better read than that.
I can't imagine anyone paying money.

Are you part of the conoscenti, or "people with informed appreciation of a particular field, esp in the fine arts; connoisseurs?" If not, I can accept disagreement. However, you should frame your disagreement in something called an argument (i.e. a claim, I dislike this story because of this reason).
What you have given is something much less.

I can tell why you like them. I don't think I'd go out of my way to read them, but I think they are honest. At least to the way the author thinks. They seem sincere to me.

Huge run-on sentences combined into run-on paragraphs.

The fact that he does not tell me the truth all the time makes me not sure of his truth at certain times, and then I work to figure out for myself if what he is telling me is the truth or not, and sometimes I can figure out that it’s not the truth and sometimes I don’t know and never know, and sometimes just because he says it to me over and over again I am convinced it is the truth because I don’t believe he would repeat a lie so often.
The ramblings of insanity. Edit: Or maybe a 2nd grader.
