A review by pleasereadittome
Man V. Nature by Diane Cook
2.0
While many of the stories are rooted in humanity's primal desires, the overall collection is rather tedious at times. All of the stories start out promising, but only a few finish strong. If I were to recommend this collection -- which I don't -- I would only focus on these:
- Moving On: an unsettling world of arranged marriages and internment camps.
- Girl on Girl: a disturbing view of the lengths teens will go to belong.
- Meteorologist Dave Santana: while long-winded, it's a fascinating character study.
I read this in less than week and in reviewing the table of contents couldn't even remember what some of the stories were about. That should tell you a lot right there. I'm still haunted by almost every story in "Friday Black" and "Interpreter of Maladies."
