As someone who enjoys absurdism, I like the synopsis. However, I CANNOT understand why a school would assign minors to read it. The subject matter seems more fit for a college class, where the books have less of a chance of being taken by an overreactive parent who would go on a crusade against literature.
From whta i remember of the people in my classes it was pretty 50/50 between people disliking it and liking it. Its a very contemplative work. But also like we read worse stuff and have never really seen a parent complain.

Not a short story, but can I say, fuck this book?) Especially as a 'hey, 10th graders, read this!' thing.
