Title: easy morality and sentimental tripe
Product review: I approached this book with high expectations, considering the reviews lavished upon it. However, I found Canin to be one of the most disappointing contemporary writers I've had the misfortune of coming across (along with Michael Chabon). His stories are predictable, his attempts at change in his characters vacillates between trite and the kind of easy salvation the media pours into our faces day after day. If you're looking for innovative short stories, look up George Saunders or Jennifer Egan.
