this was an intriguing and neat little collection of short stories: i liked them for what they were, but this wasnt perhaps my cup of tea because it did just feel a little too mysterious because of the unresolved nature of the stories… if you enjoy closure you will not enjoy this. 3 stars

Subtle, haunting, captivating. These stories pulse with life.
Liked this a lot. Annoyed at myself for not giving Carver a proper go sooner
His writing is just not to my taste, way too sparse, almost no character thoughts. I didn't know what the story was about emotionally, so it made no sense to me why it was even written.

some stories had good premises but weren't executed as well as I'd hoped. A lot of the stories were about men being assholes which is not something I'm super into reading.
