Way fucking cool. Everyone's read "Sentence," but the other gems here defs need more exposure.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I enjoyed the first and last stories, "Views of My Father Weeping" and "City Life," most.

Very fun. A few stories that were just too much. Some total gems. I recommend Barthelme.

I think this may have been a Jessamyn West recommendation. Experimental short stories written in the late 60s. The first one was heavy and boring but the next one about the falling dog, I read to myself out loud and it was fun. Some of the stories were interesting, but most just kind of weird - enumerations, odd drawings, one single sentence. (July 14, 2005)

Several weird short stories. Can't say I totally got the book. Not my cup of tea!

Quick read. I liked many of the stories, but some were a little too "experimental" for me.
