Speed-Walk and Other Stories

by Suzanne Greenberg

Book Overview

The characters in Speed-Walk and Other Stories often find themselves dislocated, living in places that do not resemble or feel like home. Their lives have somehow been turned on their axes, and often they cannot comprehend why. The stories in this stunning debut collection are united by their protagonists' common quest to make sense of the world, to bring it into focus, to set it right, to adapt.

Customer Reviews

A writer to watch

Ms. Greenberg's characters are wonderfully complex and realistic and their situations simultaneously sad and funny. The sense of humor through which she views her characters softens the often gut-wrenching details in these stories. I would like to see a novel from Ms. Greenberg next!

You need this book

You need this book to get a giggle out of the society that we live in. Read it while you are waiting for your flight to board or even in your shrink's waiting room. The people in the stories are all people you know or have met and the cover looks good with whatever you are wearing.- Cosmic Larry
