What do you say when a work that is widely liked and highly celebrated doesn't do for you what it did for others? What I do is slap a three-star rating on it and write a review that expresses my confusion without saying anything positive or negative about the book. In fact, such a review really doesn't even say much about the book. It's just a ho-hum review for a ho-hum book.

Oh. My. Goodness. This is one of the the most beautiful books I have ever read. Two of the stories -A Temporary Matter and The Third and Final Continent Are now on my top 10 short stories of all time list, and there were others that were close. It is lyrical and real at the same time, and every word is a work of art. This will probably be my top read of 2017.
