The Heart and Other Viscera: Stories by Félix J. Palma

3.0

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed The Map of Time Trilogy, I was very excited to pick up Felix J. Palma's newest book - a collection of short stories focusing on love (but turning it on its head). I found some of the stories to be very intriguing and others to be too far out there. My personal favorites were a story about a man behind a curtain, one about a man who gives himself to his lover piece by piece (literally), and one where a cat falls in love with a man. They're all strange to read, but the emotion behind everything makes sense. Overall, I thought it was a mixed bag and I was slightly disappointed because I loved the The Map of Time trilogy so much.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
