simple, spare stories packed with thought and possibility. I have to read them slowly, one at a time.. and then let them sink in.

  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

Such an odd and fascinating viewpoint and voice. Glad to read the wristcutters story, and glad the film was so faithful to it.

A collection of warped and wonderful stories, indeed.

I've never read anything like the style of this author's writing. Very short. Very weird. Full of irony.
It's a fun book with some really twisted writing.

Many good stories in this book including Kneller's Happy Campers, the basis for the film Wristcutters: A Love Story. I'll keep an eye out for The Girl On The Fridge and other english translations of this author's work.

It's an interesting collection. The stories were tied together by some common themes and a strong writing style.
