We Travel the Spaceways

I've been hearing LaValle's name a lot lately and I figured this short story would be a good option to see if I like his style, I had zero Idea what I was getting into. I'm still not entirely sure what I read but I enjoyed the tone and style of it. It was quirky in a grim sort of way and it was also sweet in a beautiful and sad way. That being said I, like seemingly quite a few other reviewers, would have liked something more from this story.

This was kind of a conflicting read for me. I loved the character voice and the trajectory of the story, but the thing the main character was doing for the main part of the plot seems so terrible for no reason and that dragged the story down for me.
