These are terrific stories--absorbing, honest, filled with recognizable people being squeezed by recognizable circumstances.

Here is a snippet from the book's review in the Boston Globe:
Profound and daring...some of the most wonderful stories any American has written...you emerge at the end as if from a display of heavenly fireworks - the mind ablaze with ideas, with fun, with pain, with admiration. Dazzling.
