Been putting off writing a review of this because I wanted to be thorough, but now it’s been too long so I just gotta do it.
I didn’t realize that the narrator was continuous. Feel a little stupid now, as it definitely would’ve affected my feelings. All the more reason to re-read, since it was short and already confusing.
Don’t know if there’s too much to say about how brilliant a stylist he is. Manages to be both spare, poetic, and bitterly funny. Not all of the stories hit for me, but some were really special. Highlights were “Car Crash While Hitchhiking”, “Out on Bail”, and top marks to “Emergency”.
