This is one of my favourite books. I say book because it is not a novel, rather a collection of short stories. However all the short stories can, with some reader imagination and willingness to make connections, inter-relate. Munroe uses the same character names in several stories, and the same character descriptions in others, but never does she say they are the same person. Furthermore, these stories do not have to be read in sequential order to make sense. As a collection the stories create a whimsical land full of people and characters and circumstances, which could be perceived at all in one time era, or in eras decades or centuries apart. This book, along with Munroe’s other collections of short stories could be said to make an inexhaustible hypertext. Great read, I recommend it 🙂
