As slowly as I worked through this book, I’m already so SO sad it’s over.
Ridiculously good. Every time I found myself fighting to get through a particular short-story (i.e. The Nose & The Singers) the afterthoughts justified their inclusion. No need to have a deep-interest in creative writing or in fiction to deeply enjoy this book.
Feels like a conversation with a wise, kind-hearted friend— or taking a class with your favorite teacher, in book form.
6/5 stars. A++
