WINNER, TARTT FIRST FICTION AWARD. A funnily tragic collection of stories that always border on wondrously correct incorrectness. A manic and angered sub-sub-librarian learns about cultural differences from a manic and angered patron. A junior faculty member gets paid to befriend a senior star philandering poet. Three kids and a rabbi discover the awful truth that God really is a process God. A token black man—Bob the Negro—accomplishes revenge in his work place—at a price. And, a brick plays a momentous part in a tragedy. This collection comes one short of a dozen, but nothing short in it style and reach.
