I enjoyed the voice and storytelling aspect of this book, but the subject matter of most of the short stories was challenging to get through. I wouldn’t recommend, necessarily, but I don’t regret reading it.

“We had loved people we really shouldn’t have loved and then married other people in order to forget our impossible loves, or we had once called out hello into the cauldron of the world and then run away before anyone could respond.
Always running and always wanting to go back but always being further and further away until, finally, it was just a scene in a movie where a girl says hello into the cauldron of the world and you are just a woman watching the movie with her husband on the couch and his legs are across your lap and you have to go to the bathroom.”

Bleak. Weirdly sexual throughout, like way more than I would have guessed. Complex representations of queer attraction but few people are actually gay? Some moments of interesting prose, but it was ultimately a chore to finish. I don’t think I will find myself looking back on these stories much, but maybe they’ll take on more interest in hindsight? I wonder if I just don’t “get it”… there were moments of resonance, but it overall felt mostly flat, to me

Either I'm not clever enough to get it out I've no humour; or both.

I finished it because I bought it. I didn't finish it because it was a good collection of stories.

Quirky, bizarre collection of short stories. I appreciated the unique writing style. My favs were: the Swim Team, The Sister, Something That Needs Nothing, and How to Tell Stories to Children.

I really liked a few of these stories, The Swim Team, Mon Plaisir, and How to Tell Stories to Children. But most of them made me super uncomfortable. She managed to write about pedophilia in almost all of them I feel like.

Thus was a tough read. The content has topics that I usually stay away from as I prefer to read for enjoyment. The authors writing and my curiosity kept me reading. It the stories were longer I doubt I would have kept reading.
