few of the stories had a narrative, they were more like an artsy adventure sequence, which is a shame because there were some thematic gems in there. the synopsis is a bit misleading (i wasn't even aware this was an anthology at first, not sure if i was supposed to be following characters from story to story or not) but it's spot on with the magical realism.
