Everything Catherynne writes is, at varying points, delightfully whimsical, bitingly witty, so beautiful you want to weep, so sad you DO weep, horrible, and hopeful. Her stories are all tight, complex works of art that, quite literally, take your breath away.

This story - this collection of stories - does all of that, and more.
