Difficult Women

Ninguna de las narraciones nos deja indiferentes, en todas hay algún tipo de violencia la cual tiene repercusiones inmediatas y a largo plazo.

Un libro difícil de leer pero muy bien escrito, que deja pensando y perturba a quien lo lee.

All of the stories were Earth shattering. So good.

Eh. The second half got really boring/repetitive for me. Story after story of woman in slightly dysfunctional relationship with man but owning it, with TMI details of their sex lives that somehow remain pretty tame (or else, I suppose, these literate short stories would dip into erotica). There were one or two stories in the first half or first third I liked but I can't remember titles now; they sort of run together. Although I'm usually excited to see MI as a story setting, even though MI and the UP are used as settings a few times, as someone who grew up there and visits family there regularly, it doesn't feel very authentic or real, which was disappointing.

Wonderful
