An interesting collection of short stories about some odd and depressed people. I enjoyed most of the stories, however some were just a little too strange for me. The majority of them are relatively sexual in nature; from the story of a woman who turns tricks out of boredom to the masturbating secretary these stories are unlike any story I've ever read. I enjoyed the differing viewpoints of the characters in situations not commonly written about, however this is not something I would go back and reread for pleasure.
A fascinating commentary on the illusion of sexual attraction in relationship and the utter wave of devastation and lack of connection when the attraction-illusion wanes and we're left with the stark reality of the person. Amazingly well crafted stories about love, sex, illusion and desperation.
