pickIt's impossible to know where any of these stories will lead, which is part of their fun. They are winding roads that often veer into spooky territory, and drop as many breadcrumbs behind you as you like, but you can't help but get lost in these. You'll find locked doors everywhere you turn of course. What that means depends on the story, but in all cases, Oyeyemi interrogates what it means to have access and what changes once you turn the key 🗝

vivastory What a great picture & a very thoughtful review! I can't wait for the library to reopen, Oyeyemi's other titles are going to be at the top of my list. In the meantime I have this wonderful collection to reread & think about. It's really helped me deal with the quarantine 4y
Billypar @vivastory Thanks! And thanks too for playing along with my discussion posts- it's fun unpacking stories like these. I placed a book order that included Boy, Snow, Bird so that's probably next up for me. I fully expect to read them all! 4y
Liz_M Btw, how many Oyeyemi books have you read? Do you have a favorite or a recommendation of which to start with? 4y
Billypar @Liz_M I've read three so far and Mr. Fox was my favorite, though the other two, White is for Witching and this collection were both excellent as well. I started with Mr. Fox, though I'm not sure one makes any more sense than others - her style is very distinctive and consistent across all three. 4y
