Title: A great book from a young talent
Review: This book is really something. I generally am hesitant to spend so much dough on a writer that isn't a sure bet, but after reading her prize-winning title story in a lit mag I had to grab it. God, she's refreshing. Comparable (sort of) to Denis Johnson without the reliance on dope as a plot element. Funny, wry, dark, intelligent. If you want to see what's going on in contemporary fiction check this out (She's got a novel too if you're not much into short stories that comes out in a month or two).
