A collection of short stories specially commissioned by Time Out by both British and American authors, including Jonathan Coe, Michael Moorcock, Lynne Tillman and Lisa Tuttle. This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.
