A review by bookishblond
Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules by David Sedaris

4.0

A lovely collection of David Sedaris' favorite short stories, featuring Richard Yates, Charles Baxter, Jhumpa Lahiri, Katherine Mansfield, Alice Munro, Jean Thompson, Frank Gannon, Patricia Highsmith, Jincy Willett, Dorothy Parker, Joyce Carol Oates, Lorrie Moore, Flannery O'Connor, Amy Hempel, Akhil Sharma, Tim Johnston, and Tobias Wolff.

As Sedaris says in the introduction, "stories can save you."
