This book was absolutely brilliant! I find short story collections to always be very adventurous & unpredictable, since you can (as is typical for this genre lol) expect a completely new story every few pages.
Raphael Bob-Waksberg took this concept to a completely new level though! He switched between topics, moods, genres, themes, emotional approaches, underlying meanings, usage of stylistic devices & many more with every single narrative! I rated the 18 stories with an average of 3.8/5, & was deeply touched by many of them. This man is not only a storyteller, but a poet! An artistic genius; an incredibly skilled multitalented mastermind & comedian!!!
