There's something strange about the tone of Rejection, where absurdity and vulgarity mingle with a fearless excavation of deadpan seriousness. Some people might find this depressing or exhausting to read; I find it exhilarating. How often do we get to honestly confront the worse failings of our time and laugh or gasp with genuine wonder when we do? The solipsistic echo chambers that Rejection's characters inhabit can be debilitating, but the presence of a writer as serious and funny as Tony Tulathimutte is a pretty good antidote.
But I was also struck—even embarrassed—by reading female characters who mocked and trivialized the idea that loneliness should be a sympathetic problem for a man. This was more or less my instinctive reaction to such ideas not long ago—that male privilege was so absolute that it somehow eliminated any common problems with being human. I mentioned this to Tony. “People see an opportunity to kill someone, to put this person in his place, and to do their political thing,” Tulathimutte said. “But connecting political ideas and political action to influence is always a bad idea.”
What I found most heartbreaking and shocking about Rejection was how it made me grapple with the types of hateful losers it both satirizes and portrays so realistically that I couldn't help but see them as vulnerable. In the story "The Feminist," a man insists on advertising his allyship until women's unwillingness to have sex with him makes him grow to hate them. Reading it, I was deeply intrigued by the portrait of feminism and alienation congealing into hatred: "Draggling his virginity like a body bag into his mid-twenties, he watched a certain amount of dominant-oriented porn, perhaps out of internalized sexism, but he read that porn was a safe, healthy place to explore sexual preferences, that sex was neither optional nor shameful, especially if studios adhered to good labor and postpartum care practices. His female friends agreed, though he didn't mention that he sought out actresses who looked like them, which he deemed acceptable as long as he consumed it critically, straddling the line between fantasy and reality."
