My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales by Kate Bernheimer

2.0

Most of these stories are awful. Either the author tried too hard, was on different drugs than the reader, has never read fairy tales, wrote the story ages before and then never read it again, or deconstructed the tale so much the reader never stood a chance of understanding it (except in the blurb after). I can count on one had the interesting stories and still have a finger left over.

Ugh. I recommend to no one this book. Spare yourself 480pgs of misery (book is 512pgs)
