A review by grvhppr
Stories of God by Rainer Maria Rilke
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
2.0
I liked about half the stories. The ones I didn't like really fell flat for me and felt like skipping them. However, there were some gems in here that I would reread in future:
. The Tale of the Hands of God (4 stars)
. Of One Who Listened to the Stones (5 stars)
. How the Thimble Came to Be God (5 stars)
. A Story Told to the Dark (4 stars)
I think I'd like to find another translation of this collection; it felt bereft of Rilke's word magic.
