So I'm coming to realize more and more that short stories, perhaps, simply are not meant for me. I like to sink myself into a tale; wrap myself in it until there's nothing but the characters, the setting and the story around me. I want to be consumed when I read. Apparently, short stories just don't allow me to do that and I end up feeling unsatisfied. With "The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher", I was never consumed by these stories and, to be quite frank, the only one I wanted to lose myself in was the titular tale - I'd absolutely read a novel that expands on what's here. The other stories, I just didn't care enough about to want more in the first place.
