Some of the stories are brilliant, others are inaccessible. A challenging but ultimately rewarding read if you are patient

I appreciate the creativity, but it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. I prefer stories I can easily follow. It felt disjointed.

Not the most accessible book, but interesting to examine Barthelme’s style. It’s very fragmented. Took me awhile.

I struggled to connect with many of these stories. The experimental style felt a little pretentious at times. Not for me.

A mixed bag. Some stories were brilliant and witty, others felt a bit too abstract. Worth a read if you’re into postmodern literature.

Barthelme’s writing is sharp and insightful. The stories are short and sweet, perfect for a quick read during commute.

Barthelme’s style is definitely unique. Some stories resonated, others left me scratching my head. Overall, an interesting but uneven read.

Interesting collection, but a little too avant-garde for my taste. I prefer more traditional narratives. It was okay.
