challenging dark medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Strange and illuminating to read this set of intense stories set so close to home for me, but depicting a world I know so little about. Short stories are not usually my favorite, but these are interconnected enough that  book feels as though it's on the verge of being a novel, constructed jumping around in time in a very effective, compelling way. I look forward to seeing what Morgan publishes next.

This is a collection of short stories about incidents in the life of one character on a reservation in Maine throughout his life. Some of the stories were better than others (the stories about the friends messing around kind of blended together for me, but the titular story was incredible) and they're told out of chronological order for a reason I couldn't really grasp aside from putting the best story at the end.
