Extraordinary stories

This is worth reading even if just for "Customs of the Country," a work of tremendous sadness, sensitivity, and restraint, one of the great American stories of the last 25 years.

Great stories...interesting, well-defined characters.

This is a collection of short stories by a great writer. My favorites were "Petit Cachou" about hustlers and marginal types on the French Riviera and "Move on Up" about relationships among street people in New York. Absolutely first class
