The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavits

3.0

I have to admit that short stories is not my favorite genre and this felt like a lot of very short stories to me. I was confused that the author essentially chose to fabricate a journal because her childhood journals fell short. I was also confused at the non linear nature of the journal and failed to find what the sequence or thread was from beginning to end. The author writes very well and some of the stories were amusing, but ultimately the book fell short for me.
