Catapult by Ben Marcus, Emily Fridlund

This was kind of a mixed bag. There were stories I really connected with and others I couldn't really see the point of. None of the stories felt resolved, but I thought that the sense of incompletion worked better in some stories than others. Very few of these stories have any semblance of plot, which allowed for some interesting introspection and examination of character relationships. However, I felt that some of these stories were merely snapshots of characters' lives, and I found myself wanting a bit more from them.
Although I preferred her novel, this collection was overall still enjoyable and I would recommend it.
