simple, spare stories packed with thought and possibility. I have to read them slowly, one at a time.. and then let them sink in.

Such an odd and fascinating viewpoint and voice. Glad to read the wristcutters story, and glad the film was so faithful to it.

A collection of warped and wonderful stories, indeed.

I've never read anything like the style of this author's writing. Very short. Very weird. Full of irony.
It's a fun book with some really twisted writing.
