Steve Moss (1) (1948–2005)

I listened to the audio book version. Perfectly bite sized stories for bedtime.

I would have liked this collection a lot more if a noticeable number of the stories didn't rely on transphobic gotchas. "Character who you think is a woman turns out to be a man" is a tired trope.

A very fast (probably less than an hour?) read. This is a complication of ultra short (55-word!) stories. Some are sweet, sad, dark, funny, bizarre. Would be a good writing activity to create something compelling in such a short space.

Received in an elephant book swap from my local book club.
