Meh. It was ok. I don't think I really like international contemporary fiction for the most part. These stories were just weird and mostly pointless. Breaking the "rules" of creative writing can be great, but for most of these stories it was done to be different and separate from what I would consider modern fiction. There were a few good stories, but mostly this left me feeling uninspired.
