Collections of short stories don't tend to sit right with me because I like to binge-read, and reading several short stories in a row (as opposed to binging on a novel) makes me feel like I'm not actually giving myself time to appreciate each story. But I want to read more than one at a time because one is just not enough! Thus, conflict.
This collection contains stories of great quality. Some were funny or incisive non-fiction and some were brilliant fiction. Writing short stories is an art, a different art to longer-form stories. I can see how the short story form has amazing value (and the ones in this collection are great, if so sprawling in nature as to be disjointed), but my finicky habits restrict me from enjoying collections like these regularly.
