It is hard to rate the book as a whole because so many people have contributed to making this book into what it is. However, we talked about "Cowboys are my weakness" in class and I took it upon myself to read the story. I really enjoyed reading the story. This story has played a huge role in changing my perception of reading, writing and wanting to write better. It has been pretty inspirational and life-changing.
(3.3/5.0) Hit or miss. My professor Bharati Mukherjee made us read her own story first. She also turned me onto Andre Dubus, though. So, thanks for that.
This was actually a pretty good book for being a class read. I loved the different varieties of stories. My favorites were the ones that made people squirm when we read them aloud in class. It's always weird for people to hear their professer say "Fuck".
Mine is 1988 edition...42 stories...A treasure trove.
