Animal Spirit: Stories by Francesca Marciano

4.75

“Animal Spirit” leaves you walking away saying “huh”. I fucking loved it. Marciano captured different peoples and their thinking so masterfully. I got pretty upset when some stories ended which is how I knew I was in love. It is a year later and I have been thinking about the collection even know. 

This was the first story collection I read. I care very little for story collections and never finished a single story if I tried. But with “Animal Spirit”, I walked away from every story like walking away from a hearty meal. Fulfilling. I realized I was reading only after there were no lines left. An incredible feat. 

It is obvious I’m in love with the piece.
