Of all the stories, only one was less than perfectly crafted. I'll let you see if you find it. Good reading.

Just what I thought after The Good Brother, the shorter format lends to sharper senses. Full of the codes of the hills, what sticks in your bones when you try to leave it, the good view of death (no fear of it but healthy respect). Favorite was “Target Practice,” where a man doesn’t have his father’s respect until he shoots him. Great stuff.
