Quirky little book of short stories. Some of them are really out there, some not so much, but all are compelling. All are connected in one way or another, but subtley. Seems very organic, not that forced, "look-how -cleverly-I-tie-everything-together" thing that seems especially popular at the moment. Some connections are only clear at the end. Was thinking about this book for many days after I finished.
