The Girl in the Flammable Skirt: Stories by Aimee Bender

3.0

Bender's novel An Invisible Sign of My Own is one of my favorite works of fiction so I had high hopes for her short stories. They are every bit as quirky as her novel but are darker. So while they are very entertaining, they didn't thrill me quite as much. It was fascinating to see all the pieces of various short stories that ended up in her novel. I'm glad I read the novel first.
