Nu am pus 3 stele în niciun caz pentru mediocritate, pentru că este cu siguranță o carte abstractă. Însă pe cât e de creativă, pe atât are anumite lacune, anumite chestii care nu-mi ating așteptările, într-un fel.

I wanted to like this collection so much more than I did. If I ranked based off the last story “A Snake Stepped on” - I would go 5 stars. It’s a lovely, lyrical, coherent story.

If I ranked based on the second story “Missing” I would give the first half 5 stars but the incest was icky.

If based on “Record of a Night too Brief” 1 Star seems reasonable. I like a good surrealist short story, but even those must contain some sort of logic and consistency to the world. This was like a new set of story dice were rolled for each subsection and one the words were incorporated, the character fell asleep or got eaten and the next roll started. The story lacked framework.

‘A Snake Stepped On’ was ok. Couldn’t really get into the other two.
