challenging dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

absolutely brilliant. i enjoyed every single short story in this and the writing was impeccable. there was something about this read and gay's style of prose that felt oddly comforting despite the heavy subject matter in some of the longer shorts. 

probably one of the easiest five stars i've handed to a book this year.
