Negative Positive
Title: A crowded stage.
Review: I've never seen a dozen characters established so quickly and so well as in this lively comedy. The author places a crowd of relatives upon the stage and sets them to milling about very plausibly. Everything that happens springs from character. Each of these souls inhabit a unique universe established through lnaguage and detail. The small moments are as rich as the large. Packed with information, insight, poetry and play, this is a book that you could read standing up on a commute train or aloud to a roomful of discerning friends.
