The words original and unique are thrown around quite often to describe authors, but in the case of Oyeyemi (Boy, Snow, Bird), those adjectives are entirely accurate. In her newest work, a short story collection, these loosely interconnected tales (each has a lock and/or key as one of its elements, and characters from one work may appear in another) beguile listeners while also keeping them slightly off balance. Expectations are met, then thwarted, and the pieces turn in unexpected ways. Characters surprise and, in surprising, delight. Readers Ann Marie Gideon, Piter Marek, and Bahni Turpin bring these incandescent stories to life in entrancing and wonderful ways. Oyeyemi's singular voice is the key that opens the door to this beautifully imagined and finely wrought collection.
VERDICT Recommended most highly to those who love literary fiction.
