Title: short stories from unexpected corners of modern life
Review: Characters with unattractive professions from the corners of modern life -- girl who works as a wax museum doll during the day; boy who helps to save suicide jumpers on Niagara Falls; a ticket clerk at inflatable rubber house in amusement park in dreadful suburbia of Orlando; manager of a car wrecking yard; pilot from 1919 on a barnstorming trip -- serve to populate this collection of short stories.The plots are suspenseful and captivating, the dynamism of what is happening makes the reading unburdened, it also helps by building easy affinity to the struggles of the characters.
