so i actually only read the one novella I was interested in, "The Albertine Notes", but i give the book three stars on that basis. it's yr standard quote literary unquote writer slumming in the genre fiction aisles kinda routine. 'cept it's a pretty good tale, about memory and loss and fractured time. it's Rick Moody doing Ballard and PKD like the blurbs say. it also mines territories similar to Vurt and DMZ. oh yeah, and it was totally confusing to read, but still riveting for the ninety or so pages it takes.
