The Elephant Vanishes

This book was a suggestion to me. I can't honestly say it was something that I would have picked up on my own.

Of all the stories that are contained in this book, “Barn Burning” was by far my favorite. It was also one of the few that I grasped the full meaning of. (Or, the full implication.) The others seemed just strange or mundane.

It is a book of short stories, which is a little odd to read after my month's selections so far. I would highly suggest it to anyone interested in comparative literature.
