A charming series of vignettes chronicling the first year of life of a set of twins. I found it engaging, and the perfect length. It was hard for me to differentiate between the two main characters, however. There were some interesting musings on time and life within the narrative.

Wow, what a disarming and chill-inducing set of interviews. The story that emerges from the transcripts of the interviews is at once deeply han and somehow not, just like the characters themselves are. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a smidgeon of horror with their inscrutable stories.
