Title: the best
Review: it has also been a long time since i've read these (although i've read some of them many times) but this collection made D'Ambrosio my favorite writer. The Point and Her Real Name are particularly wonderful. I read The Point aloud to a group of college students. In preparation to doing this, I read it aloud to myself at least 20 times. It never failed to make me laugh and make me cry. Her Real Name is particularly haunting. Even after not having read it in a long time, I still recall images from it as if i was there. It's a shame D'Ambrosio doesn't produce more, but maybe that's what it takes to write something this good. I'm waiting, somewhat impatiently for that novel mentioned in the Tin House interview.
