The Angel of Rome by Jess Walter, Edoardo Ballerini
5.0

Don't sleep on this. Among the best short stories I've ever experienced.

This is a quirky, captivating, completely charming story. The pacing is excellent. The words flow beautifully. Nuggets of life wisdom dominate but aren't overstated. The writing is superb and accessible. The characters are loveable and complex in spite of the abbreviated form. The narrative is unpredictable. What more could you want?
