maybe i just don’t have the mental capacity to understand what is going on in any most of these stories or that’s exactly what the intention was, but these stories just didn’t speak to me, i‘m sorry

I would love to say that I enjoyed it, I usually enjoy highly symbolic challenging books. These short stories , while I kind of vaguely got the point of most of them, I really struggled to follow and understand.

I liked it and was intrigued by it at first but then after An Exotic Marriage I became bored. It felt a bit dull to me. I just don’t know if short stories are my cup of tea.
Best to read slowly. Savoring one to two stories at a time. (Learning from my mistake of reading it in a day).
