Da budem potpuno iskrena, ušla sam u ovu knjigu sa vrlo niskim očekivanjima. Uzela sam da je čitam uprkos tome što je izvikana, pogotovu od raznih feminističkih izvora. Očekivala sam jednodimenzione muške likove, spuštanje muškaraca radi uzdizanja žena... Sve ono što ne volim kod današnjeg nazovi feminizma. Međutim, sačekala me je pitka i čitka knjiga. Priče idu glatko, drže pažnju, prenose kakvu takvu poruku iz života žena koje su naratori. Najveći problem koji imam je što su sve žene domaćice često uspešnih muškaraca koje žive u nekoj iluziji jedne ili druge vrste. I ako je (deluje mi) pokušaj bio da budu raznolike, nisu bile. Iritantno mi je bilo do koje mere junakinje prave sebe žrtvama, ali to je vrlo poznat obrazac, pogotovu na našim prostorima, pa je iritacija možda proistekla i iz toga što mi je i više nego poznat od ljudi iz moje okoline.
Kao novopečenoj majci posebno su mi potresne priče bile Geni, Otac i posebno Lile, a svidele su mi se Prazno gnezdo i Supa.
Najlakše mi je da poredim ovu zbirku sa Mliječnim zubima. U poređenju sa njom, više mi se sviđa Lanin stil pisanja koji je laički gledano umetničkiji nego Rumenin. Rumena ima neki običniji, svakodnevni stil. Takođe, priče iz Lanine zbirke su mi ostavljale jači utisak. Zato, 3.5, ali hajde 4, jer me uvek raduje da čitam nešto što je "naše".

This book was slow. I could not finish a story and jump to the next if I did I would feel that I was still thinking about the previous story and would get confused. The stories are all dark and depressing. The writing is amazing in conveying the story. It feels like you are in their head there are no filters, just open and blunt conversations.

I. Just. Can't.
It's not a bad book but i can't.
I can't finish it.
GR needs to make that option too!
Book has 11 short stories and after third i'm done. It makes me sooooo depressed. Maybe it's just me but why are women getting merried to those kind of guys?! Little selfrespect? Selflove? Come on!
Only thing i liked was the tone of writing. Open. Blunt. Real. Primitive. HC.

I really enjoyed this collection of stories. The flap copy describes the running theme as women's "thwarted attempts at intimacy", and I think that's a pretty good way to put it. Marriage is thoroughly skewered in My Husband, as every story shows a new and horrifying way that miscommunication, contempt, disgust, despair, or fear can cause a couple's (or a family's) downfall.
There's a deep psychological fissure at the heart of each of these stories. A husband's cruelty, a wife's overweening vanity, a mother's deep distrust of her own young son. They're all well-written but not ornate, just very elegant and sleek pieces of fiction, chilling and unsettling.
Children, friends, and, of course, the reader are all caught up in the wake of these black-hole couplings, and you'll probably find yourself glad (as I was) that this is such a short book.
