I loved the writing style, however i would not pick this up again and would only recommend to certain people. It’s a beautifully written short story collection, however some were interesting and thus fast paced however other were boring and slow paced and i found those harder to read (personal preference). I found it clever how it’s called ‘men without women’ but all stories focused on women, even though the male figure was the main character they were the subplot. It definitely a classic romance but I did enjoy that aspect of it. My favourite short stories were an independent organ(trust the process  - it’s shocking *TW - ED*), kino and men without women!
