"The judgment"s ending WAS SO unexpected and highkey caught me off gaurd. I really like how the author really selled the main character's reasoning as to why he did not contact his friend, just to make us feel stupid, and unreasonable for even believing him in the first place (through the fathers point of view). I genuinely felt stupid by the end of the chapter (and also had my critical thinking skills questioned )

All right all right im back ! (Took me long enough ). So i put this book down and read like 4 books before deciding to pick it up again. This was mostly due to the fact that i was going to restart the book so that i can really take my time understanding this book and not rush through it A certian someone gave this book really high praise and i want to do them justice by being able to decifer the deeper meaning!

idk if this is the actual version of the book im reading; buts its the only one i can find with two of the translators in the book mentioned so... i guess thats that.
So far i have no idea whats going on. I can understand like the short stories themselves (some of them) but i dont know if they are connected, all talking about one perosn, or like all different storys just in one book.
