Review of Yōko Ogawa's Revenge

Spoilers Alert!! What an amazing book to end the year on! Each short story in this collection of eleven is a stand alone piece, yet each is more than the sum of its parts, twisting together into a sinister, tangled, spider's web. Beware the carrots that grow in the shape of human hands, splattered tomatoes' on a highway that pop like human heads under car tyres, and a tiger-skinned coat that leaves you chilled to the bone.
Given 5/5 stars by both your hosts this is a book worth reading cover-to-cover, where you end up where you started...

    Thanks Shannen, thanks Gareth - really enjoyed this one. I'm a fiend for Kobo Abe, so I will check this one out. It sounds great. So much to read, so much to consider. Really appreciate you taking the time to parse it all out for those of us watching. Loads of fun. All the best
