One of the things I hate about contemporary fiction is that the stakes always seem really high. Some people will be going to the coffee shop and it will be unbearably emotional. This collection, there literally are no stakes. Their emotional range is so minimal and it’s like, ‘Thank God someone is writing like this'.      source
