Read my review on New York Journal of Books first. Additional remarks that appeared in a different and now defunct publication begin with the next paragraph.
From 1951 to 1962 nuclear weapons tests were conducted in the deserts of Nevada and New Mexico. No one at the time anticipated that rainfall patterns would bring the nuclear fallout to the other side of the continent. Fall Out, the new chapbook length book of linked short stories by Susan Daitch (author of Paper Conspiracies), examines the long term consequences of those weapons tests.
Fall Out is published by Madras Press which after covering its costs donates all proceeds of sales to charities chosen by the authors. Ms. Daitch has chosen Women for Afghan Women as the charity to benefit from the sale of copies of Fall Out.
In my New York Journal of Books review of Fall Out I write: "Fall Out would be an appropriate gift for a socially conscious reader of literary fiction, and the proceeds of the purchase will go to a good cause."

This stretched my comfort zone; I wasn't sure how the pieces fit together until they did. Details blogged at A Just Recompense
