Title: why did this get published?
Review: I went to the school he taught at, SLU. We were required to read this book for a Southern Literature class. Everyone in the class was wondering how junk like this could get published. I got my dad to even read it and he said it was the most horrible book on earth. There is no meaning behind these stories and Gautreaux has nothing to say. I kept wondering what is so great about a man wrecking a train or old women playing cards. It made me wonder if the writer ever had any amazing life experiences to share with people. The stories are so bland and downright stupid at times. The best story he ever wrote was The Piano Tuner and he told my class the publisher forced him to cut half of it if he wanted it published. All in all I would never pick up another Tim Gautreaux book again. Not worth the money.
