4.0 out of 5 stars
This book captures the heart and soul of the city,
By michael@hannah.com (ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Book Of New York Short Stories (Paperback)
This is one of the best short story collections I have read in a long time. Sharp, clear writing leads the reader into the heart of NY. A few misses, but more hits. The best stories seem to come at the end of the book, so if you don't like the first few -- keep reading. While all the stories are about or set in NY -- they offer up details of modern life that can be applied to any city anywhere. My only complaint is they haven't published a second volume.
