Short, strange stories. Some stranger in their content, some strange because they don't seem to say much. Personally, I like when authors let things develop, which I guess is why letting days or weeks or months pass in a few pages isn't my up of tea.
Interesting language though. And the stories do tend to make you think what else could be under the surface. Especially as you do tend to realize that there are some small details that bind the stories together.

I really didn't like this one. I think my expectations may have been wrong for this book. I was hoping for something of an Icelandic flavor, which maybe I did get, but it was so dreary and sad. Almost all of the characters are having a bad time, moping, having their lives fall apart, etc. And then...nothing. It didn't seem like they learned or grew or improved from their experiences, so those bad experiences fell flat for me.
