The writing is beautiful, but it is a bit too abstract for me to enjoy it.

alexiconic's review against another edition

Short story collections are a hit or miss for me. 

If this were a physical book, I would skip ahead until I got to a story that was no longer about
Law and Order
. It is too repetitive and absurd in audio form. 

But I adored the first stories, especially the story about the ribbon.
