Title: :-)
Product review: What a pleasure to read these lovely, funny, homespun tales. I was delighted with the very goofy pop art, one of the smaller stories here. While not everything is equally powerful, there are some truly fresh and deep currents running throughout. JH has a wide-ranging imagination, curiosity and enthusiasm, a unique voice, and a genuine gift for storytelling. However uneven, I'm really enjoying his stories and novels.I'm a little more than halfway through this collection, and just finished the story featuring the kid who works at the video store.. it could be far better, but I really like where it's headed...a territory so well explored by Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell (in the novels), some of Roman Polanski's earlier work.I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what develops with this talented writer.
