Bad Haircut: Stories of the Seventies by Tom Perrotta
3.0
After finishing Perrotta's "Little Children", I rushed to the bookstore to pick up another one of his books. I decided to go with this collection of short stories set in the 1970's. All of the stories follow a central character, but are not necessarily related, although all deal with a boy coming of age in New Jersey.
I think my favorite story was the last in the collection, about the death of the boy's neighbor and his duty as pallbearer. It was touching.
Most of the stories were a blend of poignant and funny. Perrotta does a great job with subtle observations. Overall, this is a really good collection.
