The Caretaker may be my favorite story so far. Doerr’s writing leans heavily on environmental themes and motifs of young girls/women interacting with older men (not chill).

Feeling lukewarm about these stories. Uncertain how to interpret the age gap between the hunter and his wife. July Fourth was good. The stories feel unsatisfying somehow, by the end I'm left wondering what, if any, deeper meaning they have. Very ambiguous.
