I'm totally biased because Karin was my best friend in college. However, her stories are excellent. The language is straightforward yet effective at creating a compelling picture. Her characters are normal people, recognizable, and their trials provoke emotion and the acknowledgement that the everyday is beautiful and that every person has multitudes of things going on below the surface. It reminded me of the best episodes of Story Corps, where the beauty of everyday life makes me cry.
Beautiful and poignant stories, I'm glad I picked this up because I had thought the cover was interesting.
This book is so good! It is now one of my all time favorite story collections.

This collection of ten short stories announces the arrival of a talented young writer with a distinctive narrative voice. Karin Lin-Greenberg, a professor at Siena College in New York, won the 2014 Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction, and it’s easy to see why. She is a gifted storyteller.
Unlike so many story collections today, which tend to the dark and cryptic, Faulty Predictions pulses with a bemused energy. Lin-Greenberg’s stories examine the foibles of a wide range of characters.
