This requires patience - it's in the vein of the other Mitchell I've read, which means it's really a single short story seeded among a group of other short stories. This frustrates me sometimes because I'll want to know what happens next in the psychosoteric war, but I'll run up against the introduction of a new story that pauses the overarching plot for a good long while. Each story is perfectly lovely and interesting, with plenty of great turns of phrase, but they can take their time meandering back to the main theme.
