An excellent short story collection with stories that explore how uncomfortable it is to exist between two cultures. The literal only reason it’s not getting a 5 star is that some of the stories ended a little too abruptly for me—I get that might be a testament to how well this was written but there were some endings that could’ve benefitted from being drawn out a little longer.
Favourite stories:
• How to Pronounce Knife
• Randy Travis
• Edge of the World
