A review by drewsof
Cannibals in Love by Mike Roberts

3.0

While there were moments/stories I loved, there were also moments that felt tremendously unnecessary / self-indulgent. The way Roberts captures the millennial malaise is one that resonated with me and maybe that's why I didn't love the book - hitting too close to home? - but maybe it's just because I've read these stories before. I can read what I've lived, in fact sometimes that's a really nice thing, but Roberts too often didn't do anything new with his tales. And when he did, it was enough to make me angry that he wasn't doing it more frequently.
