This book is filling me with questions! "Hunters in the snow" just drove me mad! I don't understand why must Tub and Frank be stopping so many times (I know it was cold!) and chatting and opening their hearts and even eating while they have a dying man in the truck! Why? That reminded me of some theatre of the absurd plays…

I love this book even though I always think I am kind of missing the point when reading short stories. Take the first one for example, "Next Door". I like the way it is told, I get the strength of certain images (like the neighbor peeing on the flowers) and I understand there is a parallel between the film they watch on TV and the situation going on… but still… what do you think the meaning is?

Juls Honestly I didn't really get the meaning of most of the stories in this book so you're not alone! …moreHonestly I didn't really get the meaning of most of the stories in this book so you're not alone! (less)
