This is the original English version of Tablo's first short story collection 『Pieces of You』. It contains 10 stories that give a glimpse into the secrets and not-so-great expectations of his coming of age. [Strawberry Fields Forever] [Break] [Rat] [The Walls of Our World] [Andante] and others, all written from 1998 to 2001 in and around New York, San Francisco, and Chicago, are stories about city life created through close conversations and interviews with a myriad of strangers. All of them are set in New York, but NY here is more a fictional place than the actual city. At the center of it is the shadow of an artist coming to grips with brutal realities. 『Pieces of You』 is a work that details the faint hope that exists within a city's walls.
“My heart was closed. Cold.
I was self-conscious and cynical.
These are the pieces of my youth,
the small secrets and the not-so-great expectations,
that defined my coming of age.
But through this craft, through my love for writing,
I discovered a world outside of the small windowless one
I had built for myself.
A world of soft spoken beauty.
So here I am,
choosing to kick away the ladder
so that I may remain at your side.
I understand your solitude.
I see your shadow. (查看原文)

零散的场景、零散的主人公、零散的小故事，但意外觉得不错

感觉每个故事其实是有点碎片的，不过共同点是都很消沉/丧。印象比较深故事有The Hate Crime。Tablo（应该很擅长）描写了很多细节，像动作，场景之类的。
