after reading the boy detective fails, i got on a bit of a joe meno kick.
i didn't like this collection of short stories as much as the other books i've read. they were really hit or miss for me, though the ones that hit really hit.
in the stories that do hit, his writing seems so effortless. so eloquent and breathlessly wonderful.
shorts i'm in love with: the use of medicine, our neck of the woods, a trip to greek mythology camp, be a good citizen, how to say good night.

recommends it for:
anyone who wants to keep a sense of ennui going
I give this no stars. I didn't like it. I didn't hate it. It had no resonance for me at all. The stories in this book did nothing for me. They didn't make me think or feel; they just lay on the page.
