I can see what the book was trying to do, but I don't think it was a successful attempt. Failed short of its goals and won't be a book I think about in the future. Would like to read other works by the author though, hopefully longer and more developed.

This very short story collection had very little connecting points and seems to drift from one moment to the other with little to no destination in mind. It always seemed on the edge of saying something interesting but then never saying anything.
