The Ice at the Bottom of the World: Stories por Mark Richard
An uneven collection, but that tends to be the case with most short story collections in my experience. The first two stories are worth the price of admission, but then they get progressively less memorable.
I don't have a copy of the book. So far I've only read "Strays," and it was pretty amazing though depressing as anything.
This memoir is probably not for everybody, but I listened to the audiobook and the narrators deadpan delivery added to the quirkiness of the story. The main character struggles growing up with deformed hips that leave him with a lurching gate as well as the conflicted desire to be a professional writer. The author has a dry wit and self deprecating attitude, and I admire his resilience.
This short story was read aloud to an audience, in the 'Select Shorts' podcast for October 2017, at this website:

Not bad, and a little sad. 3.5 stars.
