some critics think frank o'connor is unfairly remembered as a "mere humourist" and i tried to bear this in mind while i read this short story collection. unfortunately i still ended up liking the funny ones best.

To be honest, I'm not sure what to rate this. I read it for English class this past school year and did a whole in-depth analysis project on it, so by the end I was pretty bored with the story. However, I did choose the story at the beginning (with my group) because it was interesting and enjoyable, so I guess then that it was good.
