Avevo già letto una selezione curata di alcuni racconti tratti da questa raccolta e ammetto che al tempo non li avevo trovati né interessanti, né rivoluzionari. Rilegger il libro in italiano invece mi ha molto colpito e ammetto che ho apprezzato molte delle storie più brevi, mentre invece a tratti in quelle più lunghe mi sono annoiata, anche per la costante insistenza sulla dimensione sessuale. Inoltre capisco la forma del racconto, ma in alcuni casi il termine di certe storie è stato veramente senza senso e molto brusco.
In generale, una lettura interessante del suo tempo.

jessiejane's review against another edition
When I read the blurb I expected more female exploration around sexuality. Trigger warnings: paedophilia, sexual assault were explicit in just the first three stories. Not what I was expecting and not comfortable to read. I stopped after the first three stories.
