Might go back to some of the stories, especially the ones in the first half of the book. It took me quite a long time to finish because I felt the need for a break in-between stories, but then it was very difficult to pick it up again. Some stories I devoured, some I couldn’t wait to end (to be honest, I didn’t really find the story “Too Much Happiness” that interesting, I probably need to re-read it). The short stories felt like poetry, you need to be in a certain mood to resonate with them. It’s the kind of book that I imagine being studied in high-schools. The stories need to be read, re-read and dissected in order to really understand their meaning. I think that would be great for schools.
