the chemists wife was one of the first ones i’ve read. there’s the foolish idiot, a naughty boy, bliss, and a joke. they’re all pretty good. they only take like ten minutes to read each one and that’s if you’re a slow reader. hope you enjoy them!
he’s very straightfoward in his writing. there isn’t a whole lot of adjectives and adverbs in his work. these are probably the easiest stories you’ll ever read.
