Tremendous debut

After reading the first three stories I called three friends and told them they had to get this book. Mr. Brown's imagination and diligent investigation of the psyche provide an engaging view of human reality. Not since Denis Johnson have I been so inspired by a collection of stories.

Worth the Wait...

Having been a former student of Mr. Brown, I remember reading some of these stories as he shared them with students. I have been waiting for this collection to come out and it has been well worth the wait. Brown is yet another in a long line of very talented young writers to come out of Cornell and Stanford! Animal Stories is my favorite, but all of the stories in this collection are intense and immensely readable. I now look forward to Brown's next collection!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

DARK, DISTURBING & BEAUTIFUL. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR.

an excellent book

this is a great book, such quirky, funny, sad situations, such insightful writing, i remember reading brown's title story in best american and was wowed by it

Terrific!

This is a wonderful collection. Even though this is a first book, the writer seems like a real craftsman. The title story--Driving the Heart--is an amazing piece of fiction. Brown puts interesting characters in these quirky situations, and the results are fantastic.
