Animal Wife

Wow! This book is apparently polarizing, and I can see why. I absolutely loved it though. The author's use of imagery and vivid natural descriptions of taste, smell, sensation, feelings, are just so lovely and vibrant. The wildness captured in these stories, as well as the anxiety, uncertainty, and conflictedness feel so real and hit really close to home. All of the stories were good, but some in particular were fantastic- Animal Wife Revisited, Beware the Undertoad, Desiree the Destroyer, The Vanishing Point, and The Tenant in particular really stood out to me.
