Highly entertaining - with a few surprises in story - and a few surprises with social theories and food culture. As well rounded as a Sourdough... dough.

Easily - the best book I'll read this year! Inciting, invigorating, absolutely necessary for our culture and culturing. And in all its power - a healing read!

Take your favorite surrealist painting, and imagine the most curious story to create that image... these are the hallucinatory stories held within states of eagerness to shock, willingness to awe, and an unpreparedness to be told
"Be Curious".
Giving recognition to a female writer crafting a plethora of alternative tales - one can feel the essence of "woman's issues" in the wildest sense of a mythical perspective.

3 stars simply as a collection of short stories not being my go to.
