review 1: This book is an interesting mix of reflective insight about the human condition and refreshingly imaginative total bizarreness. Though it can get a tad confusing at times, the writing is nicely free and fluid. I especially like the odd little postcards that separate and bookend the stories, completely strange little notes from a man on vacation to his wife who is on vacation with him and will receive the postcards upon their return home.
review 2: I'd say 6 of the 9 stories were really pretty awesome. The other 3 weren't bad by any means, but weren't necessarily for me, which is to say my aesthetic is clearly different from Christian's at times, but the language and the inventiveness and the kind of manic energy that permeates this whole collection made it a... more joy to roll through in just a few hours, and in some ways it stands as a testament to the continuing relevance of short stories. less
