Series of short stories in B&W (first one full colour), about everyday life in New York usually adults, sometimes surreal (female transforms herself into a chair in one, another finds herself placed inside a doll's house by a giant), relationships, sexual encounters, crushes, running away as a child, being an outcast at school, and friendship. Very short, entertaining read. ( )

My fondness for Gabrielle Bell's work increases. She depicts fringe-dwelling artists in twenty-first century New York; their failings and neuroses. She observes her subjects well, and has a good ear for conversation snippets. ( )

Transfixed my attention and I enjoyed every one of the stories. They had such enduring endings. Also beginnings and middle parts. ( )
