Maybe I do like short stories, if they're written by good authors and Kafkaesque.
My favorites were Art Hotel and The Board, but really I liked all of them in their own way. This Fact Can Even Be Proved by Means gave me a real sens of panic. Makes me want to read some Kafka - which I confess, I haven't. But I was attracted to this book by the author list, and I'm glad I read it. I'd recommend it to just about anyone - I think there's something in here for everyone, and I think the sense of unease from some of the stories is a universal feeling, that is good for people to feel.
