I started this yesterday and have read half the stories. Very unsettling. Highsmith is great anytime of year, but this collection is esp. an excellent read for this time of year.
pickSuper cute book about how to party as an introvert. Snail slowly learns to value his own ideas of fun and yet soon discovers that even the best parties are better when you‘re not all alone.
