cerilouisereads's review against another edition
Read the first two stories and didn’t enjoy them. Reviews suggested it would be more of the same and I couldn’t see myself trudging through nine more.

Stunning writing. Focused on the down-and-outs of this world, the failed, desperate, the addicted; at the same time very heartful.

This is like hearing an old man at the bar tell rambling stories about his life, unaware of how much pain he's gone through, and how sad many of his stories are. It's sad without being tense or hopeless. A bit chaotic, a bit haphazard, but all connected.
Moderate: Drug abuse, Drug use, and Sexual content
