This book of short stories was a mixed bag. I really enjoyed the first few stories but I found that with each story I was less invested and less interested. They were all pretty thought provoking and rife for interpretation but again, with each story I found myself being less inclined to really think about the story and less engaged in examining them. That isn’t to say they are poorly written, they are all written very well and elegantly. I cannot pin point exactly where my disinterest stemmed from.
