Undeniably very well written, but didn’t really click with me. I found most of the characters extremely depressing, and wasn’t super invested in any of their story lines.

A strong collection. Paul has a confident voice and I enjoyed the tone of these stories a lot. Highlight was An MFA Story. It did have me smiling at times and shocked at others!

This book made me fall asleep at 3 hours before my usual bedtime. Only finished it because it was for book club. Minus all the stars for vapid characters going to pride in apartheid Israel and the only issue was accessing their Airbnb

focuses on the bleakness and disillusioned of life post-capatalism, and how these individuals wade through their problems of reality.

If you ever find yourself feeling just a little too happy, this is the perfect read to make you remember sadness! (In all seriousness: a greatly strange book of engaging stories)
