Not a bad one in the bunch

Even though it's out of print, it's worth the effort to findthis shimmering collection of short stories in a used bookstore.Usually in a short story collection I like a few but not all of thestories. But each of the stories in Moustapha's Eclipse is equally strong. The widely divergent narrators tell humorous, pathetic, and downright shocking tales. Each voice is unique; you wonder how the author could get inside the heads of so many people. I cherish my signed copy!
