I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories by Laura van den Berg

3.0

It's a strong "okay" for me. I feel like the stories are going for a profundity that they don't quite achieve. Writing about death and suicide is a worthy cause but doesn't automatically make your story amazing. I stopped after story 5. Slumberland was the only story with potential for me, but the ending did not pull through.
