WOW- this is an outstanding collection.
You know how sometimes the book title of a short stories collection is just one of the story titles, and not necessarily an indicator of the collection as a whole? Well, you need to be prepared that this book title is indeed an indicator of the collection. The endless audacity of these men!
This was a messy and infuriating read- but also captivating and, at times, funny. A+ writing and creativity from Kuku. I have an eARC of her debut novel which comes out later this year and cannot wait to read it now.
