When watched

When watched: stories / Leopoldine Core, 228 pgs.

A set of short stories many of which revolve around gender and sexuality.  Identity is a common theme, even in stories featuring "traditional" relationships.  The opening story is my favorite.  It features two sex workers who are starting a new friendship.  What emotions are real?  Humor is sprinkled about but certainly not all stories have a lighter side.  The darker stories seem all too real.

This is the debut work by the author and it is impressive.
