I had trouble with the short story collection, it never really grabbed me and I was left feeling somehow dissatisfied. It's extremely well written and the stories are excellently crafted -- my only objection to the style was that occasionally the dialog was hard to follow and a couple statements can only be connected with a particular speaker by guessing. Still, it was depressing and I'm not sure for any good reason. I understand that people often lead small, mean, bitter lives, but I think I need more from a story than to see those lives under a magnifying glass.
