The title story in this collection captures the WWII emigre trying to adjust to a post-war world, in another country and culture. Reminded me of some conversations with just such an emigre in the early 1980s in New York City.
"Someone to Talk To" punched me hard. In only a few pages, I was reliving the end of my marriage. I had to put the book down for a couple of days to recover.
Stories set in Latin America capture some of the complexities of describing cross-cultural experience.

Eisenberg's stories stay with you. The atmosphere, the moods...I almost feel like I can see how the light looked when I remember these stories, what the characters' faces looked like.
