Review of 'Jeffrey Eugenides Collection' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This was an exquisite read, lyrical despite the macabre subject matter. From the first pages, I lost myself in the story, and it stands on its own as a brilliant one, told expertly. The brilliance of this book is that it also explores intriguing stylistic themes (allegory, foreshadowing) as well as subject matters (fate vs. free will, appearance vs. reality) without detracting from the flow of the story. I will eagerly read anything else Mr. Eugenides has written, and highly recommend this beautiful book.
