Minot’s short glimpses into the interactions of those seeking love, connection, lust, wantedness, desire and other [dis]affections is written very well.

Of course along with those descriptions it is expected to contain the sadness, emptiness, joy, heartbreak, longing, discontent, carelessness, etc that many of us have gone through. Those holding on blindedly, those holding on knowingly. It’s sad, it’s true, it’s familiar. The feelings evoked in the writing are a bit discomfiting, but confronting the same is perhaps an important step in overcoming difficulties within oneself or within the created universe of interpersonal communication.
