reviewed Thoreau's Laundry: Stories on October 02, 2018 Thoreau's Laundry: Stories
This rating is partly my fault, and I fully acknowledge this. I don't know how I managed it, but for the first time in my life, I read a book wrong. I thought it was a novel, and it's actually a short story collection. Just so you know, the synopsis on the back of my edition is not the one on Goodreads and therefore doesn't explicity state that it is a short story collection. So I'm not THAT dumb. But gosh, I felt like it when I opened my mouth to discuss in that seminar. >.>
Anyway, after realising my mistake and revisiting the book enlightened on its contents, I did enjoy the short stories. Some of them were a bit too magical realist for me, a bit too whimsical, and lost me somewhere along the way. But a lot of them blew my mind a little bit. Because they were amazing, and the writing style perfectly suited the stories too.
The themes I really appreciated reading about in the collection were some of the ideas about the surreal, the themes to do with language and translation, of the body and movement, of feminism and of displacement. I think they were handled well and expertly woven into the stories.
As always, with a short story collection, this one was a mixed bag. Some ups, some downs. But a good collection.
Read for university.
