reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

My favorite short story collection so far!

Some highlights were The Mohican, under a glass bell, je suis le plus malade des surrealistis, the labyrinth & Hedja.

Very poetic and metaphorical works that deal with art, artists, femininity and love in all forms.

In her short stories, there isn't so much plot as there are beautiful descriptions of people, places, and mindsets. A good book to get lost in, but no cohesive stories. Looking forward to reading more of her work.
