Ich habe dieses Buch nur wegen der Kurzgeschichte von Mieko Kawakami gekauft, die gerade gelesen und bin einfach nur froh über jede Geschichte, die ich von dieser Frau lesen darf. Niemand schreibt so atmosphärisch wie sie

9. 'the july war' by rabih alameddine
this was going well until the last page... yea everyone deals with traumatic stress differently and you couldn't predict wartime behavior but telling your son to go have sex with the neighbor and then doing it yourself when he refuses to, and then blaming him for cheating on your wife, is not it. not sure what the point was.
