A master of quietly brutal storytelling, Keegan had a lot to say about the imbalance within male/female relationships and how misogyny can ruin human connection.
Content Warnings

Be aware that it deals with broken relationships, broken engagements, ageism directed at women, and held captive against your own will.millie_blue's review against another edition

‘Small Things Like These’ is a thoughtful text, one that has made me consider the position of gender roles and misogyny in the 21st century. Keenan’s descriptive writing is always admirable - it’s the perfect example of packing a lot into a short story!
