Categorization is odious. There is tremendous overlap among genres. These pigeonholes are offered only as a convenience.

"The Shipping News" is a wonderful place to start. Such inventive use of language--sometimes I wasn't sure whether I was reading prose or poetry. I liked "Accordion Crimes" until about 2/3 way through, when an orange cat's killing is described in detail.
