4.0

Like all other short story collections, some of the stories in this were hit-and-miss like "Sinkhole", "The Particles" and "Your Duck Is My Duck". I suppose I wasn't the intended audience for them. Others though - most of the collection - I enjoyed immensely. Highlights include "The Summer People" (LOVE!), "Sugarcane" (the writing was sublime), "Sail", "The Visitor", "Aphrodisiac" and "Pérou". Those, I have hearts in my eyes for.
