In the Event of Contact: Stories by Ethel Rohan
5.0
This collection of short stories is a brilliantly original and beautiful read. The book focuses around the theme of those extremely affected by physical connections, or it’s lack. Each story is very unique and left me to ponder my own likeness to each character.
The stories, although unique, still form the collection seamlessly. Rohan captured the complexity of each character very well. Their flaws, insecurities, and beliefs were all integrated in a way that made every character feel physically and psychologically distinctive.
I have never read a book that has a style quite like Rohan. It is so fresh. I found myself sucked into each character’s life and feeling both devastated and hopeful for each one.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys deep and meaningful short stories.
