Status Updates From El bazar de los malos sueños

13 Blockade Billy (2 Stars)
A long short story about Baseball player...who hide more than his looks.
Set in the 60s.. the way the story teller made it seems fun but Baseball stories aren't my cub of coffee.

11 Herman Wouk Is Still Alive (2.5 Stars)
A tedious short story about a very mundane life that hit a one time strike..and got a big bad hit after..

12 Under the Weather (4 Stars)
A very short story about not letting go...man & his sick wife, too much about the advertising where the man works.. Yet you can predict the shocking end halfway through -author assured that- and still be shocked & sad about.

Gotta be honest, the stop and go nature of short story collections doesn’t really hold my attention even when I enjoy the stories (and some of the stuff in here is really good). Gonna keep this going as a secondary read and start in on a novel.
