Self harm, sex, small towns.
While I’m not huge on short stories (I’m trying still as you can see), a lot of these had themes I could relate to (parenting, fear of future, never having enough money, obsession towards someone or something, late 90s/early2000s references).
The writing is great and I wanted to invest more time in the characters, but the stories are over in a few pocket-sized pages.
However, I can’t say I’ve read stories of this caliber ever. Would re read before Eve Babitz any day.
With all that being said, I am looking forward to reading Animals Eat Each Other and the upcoming Gag Reflex on Clash.
