I’m slightly conflicted on this. On the one hand I enjoyed Belorusets’s writing style, and the general dreamlike vibe of the whole collection. And I am not opposed to short story collections that are more a collective of ramblings than narratives. Yet this didn’t fully work for me. Something about it felt disjointed in a way that detracted from the text ever so slightly. Not enough to make it bad, but enough that I noticed.
I kind of wonder if I’d feel slightly differently if I read it in its native tongue.
