Title: Tender, funny, enriching
Review: Once upon a time, I ordered whole slew of literary magazines to get an idea of the landscape. I read hundreds of stories, and what I saw impressed me. There are an awful lot of talented writers out there.But one story in particular stood out from all the rest. It was called "Larsen's Novel," and it achieved something that seemed almost magical to me. It was smart, tender, touching, laugh-out-loud hilarious and, I swear, edifying. I became an instant Steve Almond junkie.This collection includes "Larsen's Novel" other equally bewitching stories, most notably "Wired for Life" and the title story, "The Evil B.B. Chow." But those are my personal preferences. If you love a writer who bravely digs into the deepest corners of the human psyche, you'll buy this book and choose your own favorites--stories that will find a place inside you and never leave.
