But you'll probably pick it up again later and happily read the same story. Each story feels like a novel-conflated-from-a-moment-and-then-condensed-into-a-very-short-story. Each words feels precisely chosen; as if each sentence took a day or more to write; as if each two-page story was the work of a hundreds of hours. They're condensed from large seams of text into perfectly faceted diamonds. They're very affecting emotionally. I'm loving it, as you can probably gather.

Damn, doesn't seem to be available here in the U.S. and it sounds like it's right up my alley.....
