This short story collection reads like poetry. It gives glimpses into moments of lives that are somewhat interconnected by death and extinction. 
The impressive writing to keep me interested even though each story is only a paragraph or two and stories are only loosely connected. Every story packs a punch and invites the reader to reflect.

Thanks to Tin House Books for this advance reader copy.
