Title: Practically Lyrical
Product review: The editorial and other customer reviews do a good job of covering the characters and basic plot, so I won't go into that.This has to be the best book I've read in months. It's practically lyrical, the sentences are so pretty. The dust jacket is more than a little off on the plot, so don't read that. It's a collection of self contained stories about a messed up family living on a reservation in North Dakota.Each story is narrated by a different person and takes place a random number of years before the last one. The effect is that each new chapter gives you a different understanding of the events in the previous chapters, until you get back to the "present" time from the first chapter, where you have a completely new take on everyone involved.It's unusual to find a short story collection this good from such a new author. I highly recommend it.
