Moldy Strawberries

Character
Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
Moldy Strawberries is a collection of short stories originally written in Portuguese and recently translated into English. The stories are pretty much all queer in some way. Some are written in first person, some in third. They tend to deal a lot with drug and alcohol consumption, ennui, relationships that are going nowhere, and relationships that are just starting. There's a fascinating combination of excess and lethargy in a lot of them. Quite a bit of sexual content as well, so be aware of that if you plan to read this book.
Did I like this book? Not sure. I enjoyed a couple of the stories. Would I recommend it? Potentially, to the right person, but not necessarily to the general public.
