Your Ad Could Go Here: Stories

It took me forever to actually get into this one. You know that feeling when you read something by an author and the next thing you read by them has the audacity to not be the same thing, yeah that's what happened to me with this one, it needed space from Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex to be enjoyed for what it is. That being said, while this one should have been more my speed than the aforementioned book considering that some stories even have a touch of the bizarre, I can't help but feel that these stories would have been better served if they were presented on their own rather than as a collection. Still well worth the read if you're looking for beautiful prose, slightly unnerving stories, and characters with hard edges.
