Overall a good collection that lags at the front. My favs were “The Beyoglu Municipality Waste Management” “The Ghost Birds” “Ten Year Affair” “The Sins of Others” and “Elephant Seals.”

Like any short story collection, this is a mixed bag- that said, the mix is much more often positive than not. For the most part, this was a fun book with lots of great, sometimes breathtaking stories.
