These weird, original and cerebral short stories were, on the whole, not quite my thing, but at least I now feel I’m heading in the right direction.

In contrast, Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others is certainly worth reading. I’ve been trying to read more science fiction lately, but am uncomfortably aware that as a relative stranger to the genre, it’s taking me some time to find my niche, which has led to some disastrous choices (Joe Haldeman’s horribly misogynistic and homophobic The Forever War being one of them). Time magazine included the novel in its 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005 list, calling it "the quintessential American picaresque of the 20th century", rather than a "race novel, or even a bildungsroman".

From Eden Robinson, acclaimed as one of Canada's most original voices, comes this rich and haunting story of a family on the edge of heartbreak. He's new and doesn't have anyone to hang out with. He doesn't know how to read and interpret all the signals, and he was, understandably, cautious moving forward with Rowan. It also means that he doesn't know how to handle the many new feelings he is experiencing and to navigate his way in this relationship with anything resembling ease. When he meets Rowan, our second MC, Kasen is truly experiencing many things for the first time, and for the first time in his life, he feels alive. He didn't feel comfortable on letting anyone in and that was probably his biggest downfall. As it said in the book's blurb, his mother was completely domineering and verbally abusive throughout Kasen's entire childhood, which has shattered his confidence and ability to relate to anyone.
