grahamiam's review
4.0
Book is four short pieces and a novella. The translator's note says that the short pieces are short stories but the first three read more like essays to me, in the style of Phillip Lopate - wandering around, interrogating everyday surroundings and everyday situations with a calm, thoughtful eye. The plots of the four pieces + the novella are all very boring, but I didn't mind at all because I loved the descriptions and the tranquility of the writing.
