A review by cariashley
The Dinner Party and Other Stories by Joshua Ferris

3.0

As with most short story collections, this was a bit of a mixed bag. I *loved* The Breeze, liked a lot of the others and disliked a couple. Ferris tows the line between humor and heartbreak really well. His characters are always unsettlingly on the verge of becoming entirely unhinged; sometimes they crack and sometimes they don't, and it's a little stressful to watch. 3.5 stars.

Thanks to Goodreads and Little, Brown and Company for the early review copy!
