   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  librarybrandy | Mar 31, 2013 |  I picked up this short story collection because one of the authors was a professor I had in college. Because this is a collection, I can't really summarize or give a "star" rating, but I will say that even when I didn't particularly like what happened in a story, one of the reasons I enjoy short stories is that I can appreciate the form quite separate from what goes on in the narrative. Did the story make me think or surprise me? Did anything stay with me so that I had to wait a bit before moving on to the next one? With that in mind, "Mudder Tongue" by Brian Evenson, "The Gift of Years" by Vu Tran, and "The Scent of Cinnamon" by Charles Lambert stood out to me. It's a pretty eclectic mix, and definitely worth a look. bell7 | Jun 24, 2009 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

An arresting collection of contemporary fiction at its best, these stories explore a vast range of subjects, from love and deception to war and the insidious power of class distinctions. However clearly spoken, in voices sophisticated, cunning, or na*ve, here is fiction that consistently defies our expectations. Selected from thousands of stories in hundreds of literary magazines, the twenty prize-winning stories are accompanied by essays from each of the three eminent jurors on which stories they judged the best, and observations from all twenty prizewinners on what inspired them.
