Only one more story to go. Thank god.

“She pulled him over to her lap; he turned and pressed his face into his mother’s breasts.”
?????? This is the sixth nonsensical mention of her breasts in this goddamn short story I am going to LOSE IT. BLATANT creepy man author alert!!!!! Writing your lesbian fetish into your“serious” fiction about Society™ isn’t just tone deaf, it makes me feel like a slab of meat. Just gross, dude.

Also I’m sure in some world this certainly counts as dialogue but this kid scene is making realize that this author has never witnessed a real conversation before.

If this man says breasts ONE more time I’m gonna fuckin LOSE it

Hm

After each story I kinda go “Hm.”

I’m encountering a lot of copy errors in this book. Very distracting. Also, I can’t help but think of this as Black Mirror The Book™
