rnance's review against another edition
4.0
James Tate is a very creative and original writer. His stories are entertaining and unexpected. But while I liked the characters and their situations, I found that a lot of his characters started to be the same. Also, I understand that short stories don't have to end conclusively or anything like that, but often these stories ended so abruptly they didn't even leave room for conjecture. All in all I love the way Tate writes but I can't say individually that any of his stories were mindbogglingly well-structured.

Most of these very short stories ended so abruptly it grated on my nerves.
