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.

Edited to add: I actually noped out when the narrator said his mouth tasted of "bourbon and ennui". The cream puff dick was just the cherry on top.
As soon as his dick was described like a cream puff I was out of there
