I'd recommend all of them, you don't have to get a specific book/collection of them, just find any online or if you run into a bookstore that has a compilation it WILL be good.
he bends reality in a way that makes me reminisce of a dimension where he wasn't a perfectionist and published more work.........
It felt like every magical realism, multiple-narrative, unreliable or consistent, speculative work I've ever read before, cascaded into this one. Like they were all mirrors of his work. It pays to read the forerunners!
I don't think that short story collections are appreciated enough, and beyond being fun to read, they are the best way to get out of a reading slump. My top three favs are Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado, Homesick for Another World by Ottessa Moshfegh and Nineteen Claws and a Blackbird by Agustina Bazterrica :) they have all left such an impact on me
done with your perfume? just refill it with purified water and BOOM now you got linen spray!!! anything spray!!! just a very faint version of your perfume to make everything smell a bit more special
I really loved climbing trees and staying up there for hoursssss and Iād imagine I was convincing everyone who passed by that fairies were real because Iād wear dresses and wings on these climbing expeditions
