- If you're into the recent wave of books filled with feminine rage, add SHIT CASSANDRA SAW to your list.
- The stories in this book range across a variety of topics, styles, and genres, but all are funny, dark, and a bit surreal.

Probably my favorite short story collection yet?? Kirby's writing is striking and immediate in a way that I don't often see, her characters messy and imperfect and yearning in a way that's so assuring. Favorites included "Shit Cassandra Saw..." "Mt Adams at Mar Vista" "Midwestern Girl is tired of Appearing in your Story Stories" and "Mary Read is a Cross Dressing Pirate"
Moderate: Violence
Minor: Rape, Self harm, and War
