I haven't read that! Is it available anywhere online? A lot of short stories are.
I have read Circe, though!

I love classic short stories. I tutor community college and love talking about them with students that come in, although they don't do much literary analysis in their classes. Worked on a paper for The Yellow Wallpaper today, in fact!

I'd say you need some more female speculative fiction representation. Ursula K. LeGuin (novels most commonly suggested: The Left-Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, The Word for World is Forest. Short story: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas) and Octavia Butler (my faves are Parable of the Sower and the Xenogenesis trilogy) are two kick-ass authors.

I've been really underwhelmed by the two Ishiguri books I've read, and I really wanted to like them. 🤷♀️

Most things get 3 star. Adjust from there.
