howard's review against another edition

I never really got into this or cared much about it. It was fine I guess. Really funny in some places, but I didn't care for any of the stories individually. The morphing was pretty cool, and my favorite other concept was when the main character interacted with different members of his family. Overall, I just didn't really get what this book was trying to do.

Loved this. It's rare to come across a book that is so generous, loopy, clever and intent on chaotic silliness. I also now have a big crush on Tom Cho :) life's good

Loved this short story collection, Cho's experiments with structure and identity and postmodern playfulness are just so much fun to read. The last story didn't hit as well was the others for me but that's more personal preference than the quality of the writing, which is a delight throughout.

An incredibly and interestingly exploration of the taboo through experimental writing that intertwines experience, desire, fantasy, and yearning, all the while nestling a curious naivety.

I, uh... I don't know what I just read. It feels like this is a collection of the most entertaining entries from Cho's dream journal, and I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult or both?
