3.0

Favorite of the bunch:

Daniel Orozco - Orientation
Peter Ho Davies - The Ugliest House in the World
Edward J. Delaney - The Drowning
Don DeLillo - The Angel Esmeralda
Edward Falco - The Artist

Which suggests I am a sucker for short stories with titles beginning with the definite article 'the,' but let it be known, other "The ____" short stories in the collection, Ellen Gilchrist - The Stucco House & Andrea Barrett - The Behavior of the Hawkweeds, left very little impression at all. But 4 out of 6 is a great batting average (extra innings of course).
