I think this may be the best collection of short stories I have ever read. Typically, in my limited experience with these things, there are one or two stories that are alright, and the rest are utterly forgettable filler. In The Shell Collector just about every one of these stories is fantastic. They share a common motif of the sea, or the mention of shells, or an obsession with the wildness of the natural world, but they are completely unique. Doerr is absolutely lights out in this collection.
