Smoke and Mirrors
Neil Gaiman

A collection of short stories. "Babycakes" is my favorite. It’s very short, but I really love the rhythms and pacing.

Also, I like "Murder Mysteries" because I didn’t get the whole thing until I looked back at the American Gods review and reread the tactic I mentioned there… it’s the same thing. The murder mystery of the city of angels is really just a distraction.
