The Unreliable Nature Writer
Often playful but still powerful, the messaging within this collection encourages the reader to pay more heed to the world of which they are a part and in which they live. Humans are not presented as evil but rather drifting, often mindlessly. That this will lead to their eventual destruction is made obvious without the need to articulate.
An impressive and always engaging debut from a writer whose future work I now look forward to reading. Original and entertaining, these stories make full use of the form to hold attention in a world designed to distract from critical thinking.
