Customer Reviews

A great read

What I like about this book is that each story took me to another part of the world and to another part of my soul. It is the kind of book you want on your night table. I have been giving it as a gift, because I know the humor, the independent thought will grab everyone. Edith Lynn Hornik-Beer

An Amazing First Novel

I hope that many people will read this wonderful collection of short stories. This book deserves to be picked up by reviewers and widely diseminated. The stories are varied, from humorous to deep and heartfelt accounts of humans trying to make meaning of their lives, whether in the American West, Rwanda, or WW II Europe. Naomi Benaron is a gifted writer. She is truly deserving of the G.S.Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction and I am most appreciative that this award brought "Love Letters From a Fat Man" to my attention.
