I just finished this collection and my head is still reeling. What a wild ride. I feel like I’d have to read each one at least 3 times to really “get it”.  But not in a bad way! I very much enjoyed reading them, I just feel like I have so many questions and could keep learning from them too. Bliss Montage is a very surreal and strange journey. Each story kept my attention and left me aching for more. In some ways that feeling was unsatisfying, and in other ways extremely satisfying. As a lover of bizarre books and short stories, I would definitely recommend others give this a try.
