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.

itsprobable's review against another edition

tried to give it a chance but I just can't handle it. I likd the backstory of this more than the actual thing. I don't think it's the author herself just the content (see warnings). I think I'll try another one of her books though because the little preface from her diary was quite interesting
