This an intricate short story about the inherent misogyny that can be found in an ignorant man. The psychology on display here in this little snapshot of a very sad life shows a very astute and deep understanding of the male psyche.
Keegan also masterfully uses the minimal page count and non-linear story telling to create a sort of twist of character that had my feelings change multiple times in a the very short amount of time spent reading.
This was a brilliantly written story that can easily be read in one sitting.
4.25 stars.
Despite my positive feelings towards the text however, charging £8.99 for this is ludicrous. The audacity of some publishers is wild. This sentiment is not reflected in my rating of the book, but I thought it deserved mentioning.
