I'm actually surprised that I even requested this arc because I can't say the author's Severance was a favorite. But I just wanted to read this one. And turns out I may not be able to glean the underlying messages in the author's writing. Despite that, the writing in this short story collection is oddly compelling, I never wanted to put it down, it went from weird to heartbreaking to bizarre to something else - but the author's imagination is top notch and I could really feel so much of the pain and restlessness within the narrative.
Now that I'm done reading, I don't think I could articulate what it was about. It's certainly about the female experience and an immigrant experience, but it's so much more than that. All I know is that you should give it a try and decide for yourself, and I can't wait to read more of the author's works in the future.
