This was a soft pick; one of those short story collections that start off great and progressively get worse. It may have just been me, but all of those tragedies at the end just weren’t enjoyable sad books, they were just depressing. I think it would have been better if they had sprinkled some comedies between the tragedies (though I appreciate the organization). Fine book.
