Kelly Link: Magic for Beginners (2006, Harcourt) 3 stars

Review of 'Magic for beginners' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

These stories are weird, I find it hard to come out with intent or meaning, and normally I'd say I didn't like it except:

I've read the short story "magic for beginners" repeatedly since I first read it in one of the nebula anthologies. I thought it was "post modern" but it may be surrealest? In anycase I'm pretty sure I'll keep coming back to this story.

The fairy handbag is also pretty great.
