review 1: Alissa Nutting is a good writer - I gave this book 4 stars after all. I'm not so sure about "innovative" fiction however. There is something about it that makes me feel alienated from what I am reading; makes me conscious of how unhip I am; makes me want to shout "Silence whippersnapper!" in my best Wizard of Oz voice; makes me long for Flaubert. There is a self consciousness about it, as if the author is telling you simultaneously the story and how clever, and unique, and imaginative she, or he, is. It's exasperating.
review 2: I think some of these stories were great, while others were just okay - I felt like perhaps I was missing something. Overall, very good despite feeling uneven. A few of the stories were incredible and have really stuck with me (an... mored I can't get the image of the people boiling in the pot out of my head, ha!). I'm disappointed that I recommended this to my mom but it didn't really do anything for her, not at all. I hate when that happens. less
