Thirteen Stories and Thirteen Epitaphs by William T. Vollmann
dark
reflective
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
While I think that Rainbow Stories works better as a thematic whole, this collection still has real moments in it that shine through. “The Ghost of Magnetism” in particular hit me hard; like Vollmann, for better or for worse California will always be my home, no matter how far in any direction I may be from it.
