I loved each of these stories. I loved the way the voices seem so plainspoken yet have so much intelligence under the surface. Even the cadence of their thoughts is all their own. The characters draw you in intimately though a muddle of emotions as impossible to sort out as life itself. But, it's all planned. You can't see the notations, but everything moves at the precise moment it needs to in the precise direction it needs to in a perfectly operating, beautiful organic machine. Even the digressions aren't digressions, I really can't describe it right. I wanted to applaud when I got to the end of the title story in particular, but the characters and the author wouldn't have been able to hear me. My wife would have, but she would have just rolled her eyes like she usually does. Anyway, these are stellar stories.
