Description

The Collapsing Frontier (Outspoken Authors, 30)Having stormed mainstream literature from the outskirts, Lethem has won a readership both wide and deep, all of whom appreciate his literary excellence, his mordant but compassionate humor, and the cultish attentiveness of his SF origins. He has earned the right to tread anywhere, and his many admirers are ready to follow. This collection compiles his intensely personal thoughts on the most interesting and deplorable topics in post postmodern America.

Having stormed mainstream literature from the outskirts, Lethem has won a readership both wide and deep, all of whom appreciate his literary excellence, his mordant but compassionate humor, and the cultish attentiveness of his SF origins. He has earned the right to tread anywhere, and his many admirers are ready to follow.

This collection compiles his intensely personal thoughts on the most interesting and deplorable topics in post-postmodern America. It moves from original new fiction to insights on popular culture, cult and canonical authors, and problematic people.

Plus…

“David Bowman and the Furry-Girl School of American Fiction” is a personal true adventure, as Lethem tries (with the help of a seeming expert) to elbow his way into literary respectability. “The Collapsing Frontier” and “In Mugwump Four” are fictions mapping ominous new realms. “Calvino’s 'Lightness' and the Feral Child of History” is an intimate encounter with a legendary author. In “My Year of Reading Lemmishly” and “Snowden in the Labyrinth” he explores courage, art, and the search for truth, with wildly different results.

And Featuring: Our usual Outspoken Interview, in which Lethem reveals the secret subtext of his books, how he spent his MacArthur award money, and how a Toyota he owned was used in the robbery of a fast-food restaurant.

Easy to Set up
Style: 1 to 1 IR Repeater
Works great. Have Sonos playbar mounted behind TV and it does not support eARC, only IR, for use with AppleTV remote. This solved problem.

Works just as advertised!

Super east to set up. Haven't had any issues in our very long living room so it must work at around 25ft

Does NOT work. DO—NOT—-BUY Does NOT have the parts in the instructions. ONLY WAY TO GET A REFUND IS TO TAKE IT TO A STORE AND PAY TO HAVE IT RETURNED UNLESS ITS A STAPLES. DO NOT BUY.

Works as advertised with minor aiming quirk
Style: 1 to 1 IR Repeater
Setup was quick and straightforward. I plugged it in, placed the receiver, and it started relaying signals right away. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and successfully extends remote control range to my equipment without any complicated configuration. The only issue I have noticed is that it can be a little directional. I sometimes have to angle my remote slightly from the left or right instead of pointing straight at the receiver for it to register consistently. It is not a dealbreaker, just something to keep in mind when deciding where to place it. Overall, it performs its intended function well and is a solid option if you need an IR repeater, especially considering the price and simple setup.

It works!
Style: 1 to 1 IR Repeater
I’ve been wanting to use my DVD player more often, when I work at my desk, but it’s situated too far for the remote. This device works perfectly, now I can enjoy so many old DVDs without having to move or rearrange my whole setup.
