Title: Promising author; stories of Brooklyn family life ring true.
Review: Pulaski's portrayal of family life in Brooklyn is masterful. By seamlessly incorporating Yiddish-English dialect into his prose and describing both cityscapes and internal psychological landscapes in painstaking detail, Pulaski draws me into most of his stories.I thought that the stories depicting his wife's side of the family fell flat, took confusing turns, and were generally less believable. The early sexual experiences of a young girl and the inner workings of this other family seemed to me beyond his knowledge, and thus beyond his considerable ability.All in all, it's worth reading and I look forward to reading more by this author.
