Some are really good, while others left me scratching my head. One in particular titled DISCIPLINE was a real puzzle. It didn't make sense to me, but sometimes I think the stories require re-reading. This one was written like a screenplay, and someone was on the witness stand in court, answering questions about having sex with a fat woman, called "involuntary sex." This same person was asked to then read some of his writings, out loud, and he had a meltdown - end of story. Other stories in here made me laugh out loud. LB seems like he's crawled into many heads of people he knows, and he just plunks them down on the page so clearly, so accurately, it just leaves you amazed at his writing prowess and his remarkable ability with character portrayal. I can't say enough about that, really. All in all, I still like his writing. I have several more books to get through, FAY is the next one I want to start, and then, maybe BILLY RAY'S FARM. If anyone has read Larry Brown, and this collection in particular - maybe you can enlighten me on the story DISCIPLINE. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
