Negative Positive
Title: Skip the short story
Review: I read this book AFTER I read Uncommon Reader and was disappointed with the short story/novella. But Bennett's essay Lady in the Van gave me pause and was well-worth the read. Bennett, a well-known playwright allows a homeless woman to park her van in his driveway for years. The essay (compiled from newspaper columns he wrote) is honest ... not saccharine at all.
