At this point I think it is a safe bet to simply read everything that Gray writes. I adore her absurd short stories, but so often wonderful absurd short story writers don't end up being able to work their weirdness as well in a novel. Either it is less weird or its just downright incoherent. Gray, however, handles the novel wonderfully. This novel is weird as toe socks, but it still tells a great story. It is really amazing that Gray can bring that off and is worth reading for that alone. The story is touching, entertaining, and fascinating. And, incredibly weird. I really recommend taking a look at this book. It delivers all that I have come to expect from Gray.
