Reader Reviews:
Obsessed (1/1 people found this helpful)
These are three clever stories as well written as you expect from this gifted author. However I think they are spoiled by two things. When you stop and think about them they are three unlikely tales, not realistic in any world I recognise. Secondly they all have a strong sexual theme. Some people seem obsessed by sex. Does it really loom large when one is visiting a dying father?

Really a marvelous read, I could not put the book down until I had finished each story - I especially liked "They Clothes They Stood up in" - gives one food for thought, A really good read - hightly recommended
