A Collection of Beauties at the Height of Their Popularity by Whitney Otto is a collection of interconnected short stories. She calls it a novel but I disagree. Short story collections are not my favorite genre but when it's done well I can appreciate it. And this book does it very well. A Collection of Beauties at the Height of Their Popularity is almost hypnotic in its beauty. At times brutal in its honesty, it is tempered by endearing characters. 30/100
