Avevo già letto una selezione curata di alcuni racconti tratti da questa raccolta e ammetto che al tempo non li avevo trovati né interessanti, né rivoluzionari. Rilegger il libro in italiano invece mi ha molto colpito e ammetto che ho apprezzato molte delle storie più brevi, mentre invece a tratti in quelle più lunghe mi sono annoiata, anche per la costante insistenza sulla dimensione sessuale. Inoltre capisco la forma del racconto, ma in alcuni casi il termine di certe storie è stato veramente senza senso e molto brusco. 

In generale, una lettura interessante del suo tempo.

"I believe in saying it. There are enough mysteries, and these do not help our enjoyment of each other."
