These stories lean more literary, I think, which could be why I struggled to understand several of them (literary is not my genre!). There were a few gems, but for the most part, I found myself skimming through the stories to get the experience over with, and I was often bored. I had such high hopes for this book, but it definitely went a different route from Tender is the Flesh.
