A very wide range of themes are played out throughout the stories. Without giving anything away, one story reminded me of a combination of 2 books: Flowers for Algernon and Harrison Bergeron, and another was reminiscent of Sedariss fable-esque stories from Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. I love writers that are able to infuse humor and wit into their gut-wrenching tales, and this writer does so without skipping a beat. The stories all conveyed strong, emotional qualities and made me question several times over What if that were me? What if I were put in that position, what would I do? I am certain that some of the stories will stay with me for quite some time.
