Strange waters band

Strange WaterI am so happy I found this little gem and had a chance to read and review it early From Sarah Moses acclaimed translator of Tender is the Flesh comes a lovely and strange little book of micro stories And let me tell you what an amazing little book it is I was really drawn to it by the description as I love unconventional and experimental forms of prose Reading this book was a truly joyous experience and I had a smile on my face throughout big parts of it To me it sat somewhere between poetry and short story as the experience of reading those micro stories often reminded me of the feelings I get while reading poetry There is so much play with themes sentences unexpected shifts in storytelling and just amazing wordplay A lot of it focused on landscapes and cityscapes a touch of nature and a sprinkle of surrealism a lot of weirdness but in a fun way Some themes jump around the book popping up in different parts like a little surprise The stories conveyed so many emotions it s simply impossible to list them all but the range is absolutely impressive I loved how a word from one story could be picked up in the next and a new story would be formed around it sometimes forming a sort of chain It s a book best enjoyed in little doses across a bit extended time as there is quite a lot context switching but it will be a strange and fun experience every time.
