"And let me throw in an oddball here: Blow-Up. That is a brilliant film. It’s kind of a perfect enigmatic example of a film. I just love that movie. I can’t get enough of it. It’s so strange! [laughs]"

"I’ll never forget a strange story by Camus, ‘The Renegade.’ It told of a Christian missionary who went to convert a desert tribe and instead was converted by them. When he broke one of their rules, they cut his tongue out."

"This is my very favorite David Arnold book, and I LOVE Mosquitoland and Kids of Appetite. He's a wordsmith who's outdone himself in THE STRANGE FASCINATIONS OF NOAH HYPNOTIK and I can't wait for you to sink into this world."

"This book made such an impact on me as a young woman. It’s flash-fiction before anyone had named it, but running together in a strange and glorious narrative about Venice, a Venice that is a proxy for your soul."

While some of these stories deserve 5/5 stars, others were just... well... strange. Although this is an inconsistent collection, it certainly is interesting. Read more in my review here.

More of a 3.5 rating. I liked Cash, not so much Nash. Strange, I know, if you've read the book. I didn't quite understand Olivia's indecision between the two.

I haven't decided if I'm going to continue the series yet.
