Another excellent collection of Kersh short stories, this one slightly let down by a couple of aimless entries that failed to deliver any kind of satisfying denouement or twist. The House of Relish being the worst offender.
at the other end of the scale is Reflections in a Tablespoon which weaves a beautifully circular story around a visit to a restaurant.
For the most part these are very short stories between 3 and 5 pages, 37 of them, they are hit and miss but with Kersh the good outweighs the bad and there is always something interesting and the writing is always top drawer.
