A review by arnie
Come to Me by Amy Bloom

5.0

I first read these stories in the 1990s and fell in love with them. I recently reread them and am still in love. She writes about people who are in relationships, in love and have sex in ways different from most fiction. I notice many readers are put off by "Sleepwalking," in which a man has sex with his stepmother. Some reviewers talk about her "fucking her stepson." But she was in bed, he was out drinking and he got into her bed. He fucked her. Maybe it's because music plays a part in many of Bloom's stories, but they remind me of those by Lucia Berlin. Worth a read, I think.
