This is a book of short stories.
The funniest story was “Virgo” about a newspaper editor who
changed the original wording of the daily horoscopes to be the opposite of what
was supposed to be published so that his ex-girlfriend would be upset. It was
funny until he realized his father, who went into a hypoglycemic coma, shared
the same horoscope. Oopsie.
All of the stories had some appeal – even the one that was
only two pages.
It is a coincidence that I read another book by the same
author – “Beautiful Ruins”. I liked that
book better than this one.
I must say that I am not getting a good impression of the
state of Washington from these stories.
Don’t Eat Cat – bizzaro story about zombies.
I keep waiting to see if any of the characters
re-occur. Names do.
My commentary here is in the same format as this short story
book.
