Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules by David Sedaris
2.0
I was so excited when I saw three of my favorite short stories chosen by Sedaris:
Revelation by O'Connor
In the Cementary Where Al Jolson Is Buried by Hempel
People Like That Are the Only People Here by Lorrie Moore
Unfortunately those were probably three best in the collection, and I already owned them. But at least the $ for this book went to a good cause. There are other good stories in here (specifically, Charles Baxter's "Gryphon" and "Oh, Joseph, I'm So Tired" by Richard Yates ) but none that compare to those three.
