A review by thebobsphere
Gates of Eden by Ethan Coen
5.0
It's funny how much I dislike short stories when back in the 90's I was a big fan.
To date, this is Ethan Coen (yup one half of the Coen Brothers) only publication but it is a stunner. Most of the stories feature Jewish Americans trying to cope with society and trust me, a lot are tear jerking funny. Highlights include The Old Country, a Jewish Boy creates a mini revolution and The Boys a father takes his sons for a camping trip. But all the stories are witty with a punch.
