Helpful Score: 1
Very quirky, sleazy little stories. Quite amusing (and disturbing) but I had had enough by the end.
A fascinating commentary on the illusion of sexual attraction in relationship and the utter wave of devastation and lack of connection when the attraction-illusion wanes and we're left with the stark reality of the person. Amazingly well crafted stories about love, sex, illusion and desperation.
An interesting collection of short stories about some odd and depressed people. I enjoyed most of the stories, however some were just a little too strange for me. The majority of them are relatively sexual in nature; from the story of a woman who turns tricks out of boredom to the masturbating secretary these stories are unlike any story I've ever read. I enjoyed the differing viewpoints of the characters in situations not commonly written about, however this is not something I would go back and reread for pleasure.
