All the novels were good but not all excellent. I don’t like his portrayal of women in it.

The opening story, "the second bakery attack", is an absolute banger and alone well worth reading this collection. Alas, I cannot say the other shorts are of the same caliber; still, if not unforgettable, most of them are still honestly good short stories about people.

But at the time, no, I
couldn’t see it that way. I was still a kid, and totally in the dark about the little tremors that unsettle
people’s minds. The whole thing came as such a surprise—it threw me for a loop.

I learned that realism
can come in all shapes and sizes. The world is big enough for different values to coexist. There’s no
universal need to be an honors student. And that’s how I found my footing in society.
