4.5
A collection of unconnected short stories with a wide cast of characters. Strange choices for plots and thoughts that inexplicably make sense sometimes and other times left me as tangled as the characters. Focuses on the human experience but through the lens of 'loner' type characters who seem separate to the world around them - as well as plots that would not be commonplace in normal life (e.g. a woman falling asleep on a man having an epileptic fit as opposed to helping him) but somehow, in the very vaguest sense, relatable.
