This collection is a tad bit hit and miss, but far more hit than miss. Some of the stories were never intended for publication, but merely to amuse the writer and his friends and they feel lightweight because of it.

It is also illuminating to see his psychologies and philosophies around love and sex, things he didn't feel able to publish in his lifetime.
