The Diving Pool: Three Novellas by Yōko Ogawa, Yōko Ogawa

challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

3.75

My favorite was the last one, Dormitory, although the ending seemed abrupt. I liked the middle story as well. The first one was okay - could have done without the weird child sexualization and abuse, but I do like Ogawa’s writing on more taboo topics and depth of human strangeness. She writes about those times when you do something fucked up and don’t even know why.
