i did this one as an audio book, and i think that really helped me enjoy what was being said more. the different narrators brought a lot to the different stories being told. at times this felt more like a poetry book, than one of short stories, but i really liked the rhythm and general messages in her stories. more sexual than i expected, but not in a bad way. the one that used the word fertile a lot, was a bit much for me. really enjoyed her daughter's opening section, along with the one about the uncle and very the last story. in general, i liked this more than i thought i would.
