A review by libkatem
Impossible Things by Connie Willis
5.0
As it's a book of short stories, I will address them all separately.
"The Last of the Winnebagos" A terribly depressing story about human nature, the evils of society (in this case, the definite article) and the loss of man's best friend.
"Even the Queen" A hilarious story about philosophy and women: basically, is getting rid of our periods progress, or fitting with the goals of the patriarchy (and frankly penis envy)?
"Schwarzschild Radius" And interesting comparison of war and black holes. Unexpected, and sad.
"Ado" I laughed the whole way through. It's case in point why people should not be banning books on the basis of being "politically correct." Because these kids aren't learning anything!!!
