A review by egorkova
An Orphanage of Dreams by Sam Savage

funny lighthearted sad fast-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Life may be a desert of tedium through which a river of dread cuts. Savage adds to it a smattering of misogyny that was unintended - simply a consequence of the series of protagonists who are mostly the same person passing through it, unable to interpret the hum of their wives' or girlfriends' TV-static-like chatter. Maybe the collection should have been 1 long poem.
