Nasza rodzima ducholożka pisała o żółtym odcieniu zdjęć z lat 70, czy 80. Czytając ten zbiór opowiadań w pomarańczowej oprawie też myślałam o takiej ciepłej przesłonie, filtrze, który opisywane historie spowija sentymentalnie w delikatny puch dający amortyzację wspomnieniom, które bez niego mogłyby nie być takie pomarańczowe.

pierwsza połowa opowiadań była przyjemna, ciepła, miała kolor okładki. Potem zaczynały po trochu tracić charakter

So many wonderful stories, including the title one, but also 'Andado,' 'Lead Street, Albuquerque,' 'The Wives.' This collection didn't quite hit the satisfaction or novelistic arc of 'A Manual for Cleaning Women'--but I mean, that is a damn high bar. Well, I love her, and that's that.

Like the way I feel about Angela Carter, my heart hurts knowing that the words I read from this writer are finite. Once I've read them all, there will be no more.
