"That's about all any artist can hope for, I guess."
Wonderfully queer, mysterious, surreal heartwarming, scary. reflective, dark and sweet mixed throughout a beautiful collection of short stories. There were some stories that I found myself wishing were a bit longer, or left me with more questions than answers, but I thouroughly enjoyed them all. I appreciated the varied formats that were played with and found myself captivated by the writing style. It felt like a perfect introduction to Cipri's writing. From the beginning there was something about the writing style that made me know they were going to be an auto-read author for me. I'm excited to get into some of their longer works.
