Customer Reviews

Absolutely fabulous! This collection exudes greatness.

Perhaps it is because as the literary commentator for National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" Cheuse reviews the finest literature in contemporary English language, that his own writing is of the same caliber. His lush use of language in his stories draws the reader in just the same way that his deep, engaging voice does on the radio. No person of literary tastes should be without this collection.
