3.75
Maybe even a 3.8 or 3.9. Kate Bernheimer’s last collection of stories My mother she killed me, my father he ate Me was better edited, with more thoughtfully explored mythic archetypes and introspective spin on the original.
I will say Heidi Julavits’ Dark Resort (which is a spin on Orpheus and Eurydice) was composed very intentionally and I felt very inspired by the idea of “translating” Dogme principles into writing.
The Hungers of an Old Language by Brian Aldiss, which has a peculiar dreamlike quality, is still haunting me after three days. That’s a success and my compliments to the storyteller.
