4.0

Literary, unusual, intimate, spooky. Like Our Wives, these stories blend grimy unreality with surprising moments of closeness. Many explore the chasm of unfamiliarity exposed as relationships end. Topics spanning self-image, gender, community, and religion are weaved throughout. Armfield's poetic selection of detail and her striking, uncanny dialogue are major strong points.
Most memorable: Stop Your Women's Ears with Wax
Favorite romance: Cassandra After
