240 pages. ⚠️⚠️⚠️FAIR WARNIGNG it is so gross like read the warnings. Theres assault, abuse, incest, etc.
She also wrote convenience store woman but it couldn't be more different (also incredible book I recommend). It blurs the line between whats real and whats imagination, and it REALLY pushes morals and societal norms. Its so gross but oh my god I cant stop reading. Its like a car crash
10/10 one of my favorite books ever

This was genuinely one of the most unsettling and uncomfortable books I’ve ever read. It was absolutely bizarre in the best way and is among my favorites because of how shocking, dream-like, and strange it is.

collection of out-there short stories by the author of "convenience store woman" and "earthlings"
let me get this out of the way: this is so, EMPHATICALLY, not for everybody. i wouldn't say it's on the level of earthlings in terms of off-putting, but it's not NOT hovering around that point. go in with as open of a mind as you can. really interesting ruminations on relationships, societal taboos and just weird, weird shit. if you're squeamish, i'd at least recommend it for "two's family," probably the least affronting of the bunch

I love love love the south, im born and raised here. Atlanta is such a great pick, but if you looking for something smaller north carolina has some great beach towns.
In my experience as well asheville is so great, its also so gay i love it. Only issue is that its small, but there is a big younger population so theres plenty to do!!
