Reading reviews of Paolo Bacigalupi, he was compared to William Gibson and Kelly Link.  Gibson I was familiar with (sorta...) but Link was a new name to me, so I ordered a used book of her short stories.

So far, the first three stories have been dream-like nonsense, sorta like Jonathan Lethem (who wrote the cover blurb).  Ms. Link seems to have a predilection for ghosts and dogs and dead people continuing to do things.  

Almost, come to think of it, into Amos Tutola territory.  

I will continue to dig.

Halfway through, six stories in, it hasn't gotten any better so I'm bailing. Up for sale on Amazon. Life's too short.

The stories are catty, and trite, and sound like something you'd read in McCalls or Cosmo.
