The book you recommended sounds interesting!

I didn't think it sounded condescending. After you posted that I realized that I've only read like three short story collections ever. So this being my favorite doesn't mean much. It is fantastic though. I'm excited to read something else from her. Holiday is a super name.
After finishing Gob's Grief I specifically thought that you and Euro should read it. There's a female character that is so fan-fvcking-tastic that I'm sure you'll love. The first two pages I wasn't fond of the writing style. I'm not sure if I got used to it, or if he just had a rough first two pages.
I'm starting,
The Inheritance of Loss this week.
