This is definitely a strange book and I feel like I missed a lot of social commentary. What I enjoyed the most is this hazy, almost dreamlike atmosphere and the beasts. There are some parts that left me a bit confused, but overall a fascinating book.
I think this type of short story collections, where the stories all follow a connected thread work a lot better for me than a book filled with separate stories.
