Title: Not your standard debut fare...
Review: This collection of stories is driven not so much by characters and plot as by voices. Which is okay, since this approach seems intentional on the part of the author. These are slightly obsessive voices, pre-occupied by reminiscence, reverie and rant. A black humor runs throughout, especially in the more farcical stories on Global Warming and the Second Coming. An attention to language keeps the stories readable. Overall, a reasonably strong debut effort.
