Some Trick: Thirteen Stories by Helen DeWitt

5.0

4.5. The author likes pianists and the piano, languages bouncing off each other, and stream of consciousness style of dialogue. Also programming & technology. I enjoyed [b:The Last Samurai|190372|The Last Samurai|Helen DeWitt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348618641s/190372.jpg|376680] when it came out but the overarching story was epic, massive, and somewhat indomitable. Here, one's able to get a lot easier access to her writing and in a more condensed form. If you're new to the author, try starting out with "The French Style of Mlle Matsumoto", which is one of my favorites in the book and a great introduction to her writing.
