4.0

A surprise of a collection for me: the stories are spare, startling in their humor (a man takes his mother to a hypnotist...who uses the same tape for dogs and people), and perfectly formed. I especially loved Strawberry Shortcake and Adventures in Dementia, both about a woman with Alzheimer's and her son. Best read slowly, a story a day.
