The stories in this collection are all designed to shock and usually revolve around an action a character perceives as transgressive....[T]he dramatic situations and desires are expressed in a language that lacks intonation....[W]hen the same note is struck over and over again, page after page, the effect is dulled. Readers may start longing for more variation, for complex moral thought, for rise and fall in the language, even for some meaningful exclamations.
