I appreciate plotless, meandering books but this one was a bit too plotless and meandering for me. I still want to check out The Undocumented Americans though!

I enjoyed moments of what I read but felt like something was missing. There were attempts at surrealism and horror but I feel like on the whole the collection could turn it up even more with the speculative elements. I was expecting something more along the lines of Bliss Montage or Cursed Bunny and unfortunately this did not deliver.
