Great character work

Leslee Becker was my professor at Colorado State where I studied creative writing. Her writing is poignant, witty, and often touching. She has a knack for bringing characters to life in her teachings as well as her own writings. I hope others have the pleasure of reading this as well as learning from her at CSU.

The Sincere Cafe Reviewed

The Sincere Cafe is a pleasant surprise. If you don't know anythning about the author Leslee Becker, be prepared for introductions to some very quirky characters. Leslee uses ordinary people and situations to construct extraordinary circumstances. Her work is reminiscient of the author Raymond Carver, so if you like his work, you will definitely like The Sincere Cafe.

The Sincere Cafe Reviewed

I was fortuate enough to have Leslee Becker as a professor my freshman year of college, and because of this I picked up her book, not really knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I really enjoyed The Sincere Cafe. Leslee creates very memorable characters who are all very mysterious and quirky. She puts ordinary people in ordinary situations and somehow ends up with extraordinary, unusual circumstances. The Sincere Cafe was also very reminiscient of Raymond Carver's work, so if you like him, you will definitely like this book.
