Katherine Glover tells interesting stories; they’re just not that cynical.
Glover is an accomplished story-teller, easily drawing us into her life and her stories and at times one almost gets the feeling she is simply unloading on a group of friends as a cheap alternative to therapy. Glover is at her best when she is just talking, allowing her words to do the work. I found myself wishing she had simply sat down on her stool (or perhaps a couch) and told her stories rather than attempting to add movement or to become some of her characters. Despite a lack of cynicism, Glover makes up for it with some humourous and thoughtful personal stories about life and love.
