There are three things on my mind ...

(you're no longer one of them*)

Working out how to make Weight Watchers points work for me so my stomach doesn't feel as if my throat has been cut;

Craft stuff. Christmas bunting and a swallow and stars themed wedding card


and

Andrew Kaufman.

He writes you know!

Modern Fairy Tales!!

He's a little (well a lot) off the wall.

And his books are  allegorical.

A good place to start is The Tiny Wife.  Because it is very short and bitter sweet.

A thief enters a bank and demands that it's customers give him, not their money, but the most precious, sentimental possession they have with them.  Each loss of possession has a profound impact on their owners, and strange things start to happen to each of them.  It's a modern fable which examines modern relationships.  Read between the lines.
