So I've only read shoplifting, and I must say I wasn't too impressed with it..

Was the simple prose, absence of emotional description, and monotonous story meant to convey the vapidity of modern society? That the younger generations are so disaffected and numb to everything that goes on around them that they simply have no opinion on anything? Can't bring themselves to care about anything?

Because if that's not the message of Shoplifting, then I can find no redeeming factors at all.. Not that it's even that deep a message.

Please tell me everything else of his isn't as dull as that?
