We Want What We Want: Stories

A collection of brilliant stories, witty, funny, poignant, and ironic, as other reviewers have said, and about desire, as the title says, and about the "ethics of caretaking," as Ohlin said in her "Rumpus" interview. An absorbing book that stays with you.

In my opinion, Ohlin is the best short story writer out of Canada since Alice Munro. WWWWW easily lives up to the high standards set by her previous novels and short story collections. A pleasure to read and I love how much humour can be found sprinkled throughout the stories. Already can't wait until her next one!

I devoured this collection and couldn't stop reading. These stories are sometimes sad, sometimes funny and always smart.
