I have one word for this collection of short stories - incomprehensible. There are several other words I could have chosen but this seems to encapsulate them all. I don't dislike a lot of books I read, and the Library Journal review really made it sound intriguing. Instead the stories are so impressionistic, you're not sure what is going on. You're not sure if you're reading sci-fi/fantasy or realism. And you end up really not caring - you just want it to be over.
Thankfully, it was a short book and I can mark it off of my TBR shelf. That's about all the good that came from reading it.
