Miska’s Reviews > Lament for Julia, and Other Stories > Status Update

-very straightforward story about being suicidal for years

-Swan
Man you can really tell what an influence her father and husband had on her :( this is the second story with a way to close psychologist father and his daughter saying that she is definitely in love with him cuz freud or whatever , im not sure if i like how this story developed into a more fantastical sense, the writing buts in between were nice and a creative way of story telling

-The Gold Chain
Oooooo i rlly enjoyed this one!

-Easter Visit
Just 5 pages of pervy cousin love, nothing burger

-Medea
Hmm i was unfamiliar with the myth of Medea so i read up on her and i gotta say this retelling is rather meh , the writing was just okay and idk maybe i just dont care about the myth at all, there were some good lines in there, sad how this modernized version from i assume the 60s about divorced women is still soo true

-Dr. Rombach’s Daughter
Hmmmm knowing susans childhood this story seems very personal to her but the ending was so lackluster,the whole story was interesting but it would have to be a whole novel for it to be something, building up this relationship doesnt amount to much in the end

- A Fatal Disease
This was soooo real lol

-the patient
Hmmm idk how i feel about this story , it was quite similar to lament for julia but also way emptier, very short

-lament for julia

This was soooo goood
