"Another collection of short stories, this one endorsed by David Sedaris. These stories were much much different than those of The Littlest Hitler; they were much more serious and poignant, for the most part. Quite a few of the stories were funny, but they all had these really deep, really make-you-think sorts of endings. I would probably recommend this book, but you very much have to be in the right mood for it."
"A really quirky short story collection. The story are hilarious & full of dark humor. My very favorite story was Miranda Falling, but they are all good."
"I picked this up because in the forward, David Sedaris explains how he considers this book a true gem which help shaped his own literary voice. Using basic logic: I love David Sedaris. David Sedaris loves Jincy Willett. Hence, I will love it too. And I did love it. Not because it made me burst out laughing while riding the train to work (which is why I love Sedaris), but because it had so many great turns of phrase, twisted and rich plot lines, and disturbing but absorbing characters. Willett's writing and sense of humor is dark, very dark, and you can really see where Sedaris might have drawn from it in creating his own style. This is excellent short story writing."
