2013 was clearly a bad year for literature if this was the only thing worth giving the Nobel Prize to!
.
The last four stories, including the titular Dear Life, are semi-autobiographical and I really enjoyed them. I'd have liked a whole book of the same snapshots of one life. The rest of the book is just people in small towns, where all the men are dicks, having affairs. I was so bored of it by the end.
