bluepiano Chateauraynaud's and Hotschnig's books are first cousins. I'd say they were kissing cousins except that I don't know what that means. It's rather difficult to imagine someone very much liking one yet not very much liking the other. Both are well worth your time.

Fantastic and fantastical collection of short stories. More Borges than Vonnegut, less science more fantasy, less humor more abstraction. Hauntingly familiar at times. Gauvin chooses wisely again and again, exerting remarkable control especially over the pacing. Excited to revisit these in class this summer!
