Smart Ovens for Lonely People
by Elizabeth Tan
This rating feels a bit harsh but then Goodreads doesn't allow half-stars. 2.5?
There were some stories in this collection that I really enjoyed, but I feel that there were just a few too many that felt like they went nowhere, or were a bit clumsy. The steam-of-consciousness snippets have their place but I guess they are just not my cup of tea.
I did enjoy some of the more complete stories, with my favourites being 'Our Sleeping Lungs Opened to the Cold'; 'Pang & Co. Genuine Scribe Era Stationery Pty Ltd'; 'Washing Day'; and 'Excision in F Sharp Minor'.
