Wow. Here is a collection of stunning short stories, each succeeding in quietly unsettling my mind. The writing is so sure of itself, it was so satisfying to get to the end of each. Not to oversimplify, some are about: a man meeting his dying friend to act as best man; an aspiring skater, his tag-along brother & their condescending father; the brutal murder of a family; burying a rotting bird on Easter; and a young woman caring for aging parents.
