NOTES:

hombre = "an informal term for a youth or man" 

I suspect that "INFINITE JEST" = God's online posts.

There is no photo of the author on the cover of "The Collected Works of A.J. Fikry" by Gabrielle Zevin, published by Little, Brown, so I don't know what she looks like. The publisher Little, Brown should know. (Gabrielle Zevin could be a pen name, or the novel/memoir may be a ghost-written work of fiction. No one is sure about Who wrote INFINITE JEST.)

I think I heard the "bookswithdylan" reviewer guy (no. 3 above) say that THE STORIED LIFE OF A. J. FIKRY by Gabrielle Zevin may be another name of the novel THE COLLECTED WORKS OF A.J. FIKRY by Gabrielle Zevin. But from interviews with Gabrielle Zevin on YouTube I learn that THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKRY by Gabrielle Zevin is not a Little, Brown publication but has been published by another rival or friendly American publisher. (May ALL authors and all publishers and all book stores prosper.) By the way, how many Gabrielle Zevin are there in the world?

I purchased the American edition of INSTANT VOCABULARY by Ida Ehrlich many years ago when I was a college student but a few years ago I bought an exact Indian reprint of INSTANT VOCABULARY by "Amitav Sengupta, University of California" (the changes obviously made to tap the large Indian market). COLLECTED WORKS sounds like a scientific textbook, which may be the reason for changing the title to THE STORIED LIFE, which is a smart move. I am not saying plagiarized.
