Soon after reading The Dog Catcher, I wanted to read this collection of short stories by the same author. Would I have liked to have read Barcelona Plates before reading The Dog Catcher's short stories? Yes. Will it matter? Probably not, although there is one story in the latter which I still haven't read because it's titled "Barcelona Chairs" and a story titled "Barcelona Plates" leads off the collection in Barcelona Plates. This has been on my shelf for yearsssss - I don't even know if it was acquired before or after I moved cities in 2009. It caught me by surprise when I took the book of the shelf today (in prep for taking to work for break reading) that it wasn't yet registered. That is now corrected and now I'll finally read it, a long 10 years after reading The Dog Catcher.
Done. A wonderful collection full of dark humour. It was all over too fast - I want more! Thankfully I still have "Barcelona Chairs" from The Dog Catcher to read.
