Surreal and I don't mix well either. I am glad I read it, but, like you, I am not sure I would have picked it up to read had it not been for the book club. I am glad I read it though.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-38238980054094962452015-09-08T16:40:23.834-07:002015-09-08T16:40:23.834-07:00Jenclair - Short stories are not my go to reading,...Jenclair - Short stories are not my go to reading, not even when I'm looking for something short.

This is one I might pick up from the library but probably wouldn't go out and buy it.

Slomski's stories sound intriguing, though, and I love the way you briefly explained the reasons you loved your favorites. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59898562583255271752015-09-07T06:13:14.892-07:002015-09-07T06:13:14.892-07:00What a great title, it certainly had me wanting to...What a great title, it certainly had me wanting to know more about the book.
