Interesting because it’s hard to say what I read. I think it was a collection of short stories tethered by a few reoccurring characters throughout the book. The timeline was all over the place, so it was hard to put a chronological order to the events. And the connections between characters and stories were sometimes only tenuous. Each story was almost self contained and complete otherwise.
