I forget how much I enjoy Lanark’s short stories!

A beautiful collection of short stories by a startlingly young author.
As a first generation American, I found that these stories captured a certain kind of poetic loneliness, one associated with being of dual ethnic background in a country that seeks to see itself as "mono."
Absolutely worth the read, whether you're a first gen or not.
