Title: Almond is Here
Review: Almond is a master of the American short story. While stuffy academics keep reminding us that the short story as a form is dead or dying, Almond is penning tales that aim for both the head and heart, that are invigorating, sexy, and serious. His depiction of people is nothing less than what it should be: accurate and compassionate. He cares for his people the way only a seasoned writer will. We know Almond's characters; they live next door to us, they live right under our own roofs. THE EVIL BB CHOW is cause for celebration. Here is a story collection that isn't afraid to confront the absurdity of our world, or to relish the beauty when it is found. If Almond's first story collection, MY LIFE IN HEAVY METAL, was the promise, then THE EVIL BB CHOW is the consummation.
