The History of Sound by Ben Shattuck
3.0

Confused by the love for this one. It's fine? A few duds, a few solid stories undone by sentimentality. It's not a structure thing. There's nothing particularly interesting about the connections between these stories, but I have no problem with a novel of linked stories. The best part of the work for me may have been the careful attention to birds.
