Short story collection around women love sex and relationships. Some verging towards erotica, some dystopian, other purely bizarre. Top favorite is "Inventory": a list of relationships with men and women, then apocalypse (kinda). I loved the one where a woman rang the bell of her former lover and told her "this baby is yours", violent story follows. And the one where women literally disappear.

Didn't like the one based on Law and Order series but I guess it's part bc I've never watched it.

This collection is bold, creepy, weird, and I'm very much into all that.

Cruel, extremely compelling, a correction of short stories dealing with sex, power, desires from an unconventional, finally true female point of view. I might not have liked them all, but all made a impression, all had me cringe, in a good way, one way or another. Loved every moment spent on it.

Can't wait for anything else Roupenian will throw at me

So beautiful in its weirdness I had to buy a physical copy of it. And that's a first

Libero 1 e 2 potevano essere 4 stelle, per la magia, gli avvenimenti e i personaggi sinistri, l'atmosfera incantata, ma il 3 mi ha annoiato a morte. Si trascina lungo l'indagine di una cosa che il lettore ha seguito lungo i primi due libri. Ora che ce l'ho alle spalle direi che non vedrò Murakami per un pezzo

such a weirdo!

I loved the vast sense of time this sci-fi classic beholds, and how religion is frankly used as a means for imperialism and dominion. It fell a bit flat though, not much suspence or drive, in my opinion.
