Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Somewhat disjointed vignettes, but interesting to see attitudes across the board. I feel like New York may have more in common with Tel Aviv than San Francisco--even though it reminded me a bit of Tales of the City. ( ) 2.5 out of 5. I just wish I could've related to or enjoyed more of the stories in the collection, overall. For the most part, I found myself skimming - because there was little new or engaging here. The stories are well-written, although they wear their author's Israeli identity aggressively at times, but they felt like pieces from a club I haven't been invited to yet: the New York (specifically Brooklyn) young-writer "scene". I'm a young writer in New York and am certainly part of the literary scene... but there's a little too much effort put into "being literary" here. When Oria relaxes and just writes something for fun, it shows: the story grabs you. The others, they don't grab as much.
