This is the second collection of short stories I have read by this author and I definitely continue to enjoy this voice and perspective. I like that this a group of people and a culture that we don’t get to hear a lot about. I have to say this book starts with a pretty big bang, The first story is about the torture that occurs in the political prisons and it is uncomfortable to read it. This doesn’t mean it was bad or I didn’t enjoy the perspective, but it was a hard story to read. I think my favorite story was Tales of Survival: Avenues and Epworth. While I enjoyed some stories more than others I did genuinely enjoy the whole collection. While it is a small thing I did struggle to tell the difference between different stories and different chapters or vignettes of those stories some times because of the formatting, but this was an advanced reader copy so that may be different in a finished copy.
