I haven’t ready many short story collections, so have no idea how to review or critique these. I felt like the collection was uneven. A few stories stood out as enjoyable, or at least graspable. Some were flatly gross and I didn’t really get them (the first two, in particular, which are also the most scatalogical).
There were plenty of times when I could detect satire, but knowing essentially nothing of the sociopolitical situation in Indonesia, the punch was lost on me.
