A bedridden girl convinces her sister to spy on their creepy neighbor, who keeps animals in cages in his backyard, and occasionally takes them inside, although they never come back out.

The pieces of the story, the sick sister and the animals and the creepy neighbor all come together perfectly at the end in that way where you feel both hollowed out and heavy at the same time.… (más)
This was recommended to me a couple of years ago, and I can't help but wonder if Me From a Couple of Years Ago would have liked it more.

The title story was really good, though.

I'm wavering on recommending this - on the one hand, the characters and world are compelling and unusual. On the other, there's just a bit too much that's not adequately explained. I'm usually fine with books that don't spell out all the details of their worlds' cultures and physics, but there do need to be enough crumbs for the reader to figure out the logic of the place. I felt like I had to work too hard to find those crumbs, let alone make full sense of them.

Els reculls de contes sempre tenen l'avantatge que t'asseguren una certa varietat, i en aquest cas també és cert, però el resultat final no compensa en absolut l'esforç.
