A review by mallaeus
Vertigo by Joanna Walsh
3.0
A short story collection I picked up after an unsuccessful venture into a pair of very large nonfiction books which I won't be continuing with.
Walsh is a quiet favorite of mine, having read her more recent collection some time last year and enjoyed it. Her command of language is impressive, and she twists words and phrases around on themselves to create intricate stories, perfectly contained within themselves.
Major themes include infidelity, growing older, motherhood, language, and the sensation of being alone (but not lonely, necessarily) in a foreign country.
