Wonderful Collection

One of the best prize-winning collections I've read. I picked up this book about 4 years ago and still have the stories stuck in my head. They are very smart and cleverly written, and after revisiting them, I am even more amazed at their power. If you are a fan of modern short fiction, about mostly urban characters, you will really enjoy this collection. So many fresh moments in here - lines that just stick in your head. Feitell is a great writer and I hope to see a lot more of her books in the future.

how does she do it?

Each of the stories in this collection are rueful,clever,energetic and big-hearted. Feitell's prose is a revelation-- finding humor in the bittersweet details, the essential stuff of life. I know that the brave and conflicted characters who populate these pages will stay with me. This is a true gem of a book.
