This was so delicious, the stories are so strange and disturbing and creative i actually cannot even believe a human being wrote them. its a love letter to weirdos but especially weird women. 
My favorites were Pyret, Jagannath, Some Letters for Ove Lindström, Who is Arvid Pekon? , Brita’s Holiday Village Reindeer Mountain, Cloudberry Jam, Aunts (which is almost all of them).

-0.25 because some of these stories did not quite get to my heart like the rest of the book did. Still an incredible surreal metaphorical experience.
