For the Relief of Unbearable Urges: Stories by Nathan Englander

4.0

Read this for part of a discussion group on campus, as Nathan Englander came to give a reading and work with students. Stories are a mix of humor and heartbreak. Really wonderful collection. A few favorite stories of mine were: The Twenty-seventh Man, The Tumblers, The Wig, The Gilgul of Park Avenue, Reb Kringle and the title story, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges.
