4 stars. This is a very interesting short stories collection. As expected, talented writers present an array of literary fictions encompassing various themes and writing styles. Since poems/ short stories anthologies is still a very rare commodity in SE Asian literary scene, I hope to see more anthologies of creative works in the future.
