The Sadness of Beautiful Things by Simon Van Booy

By borkali on 16/05/2023

Another Van Booy book down the hatch! The Sadness of Beautiful Things is a collection of stories — some shorter than others. I enjoyed the length variability. All of them, as the title infers, are a little sad but also hopeful. This was a quick and delicious read — full of characters and ideas, lives
