Shelves: short-stories, all-fiction

There are thirteen stories in this collection. I enjoyed reading all of them. My two favorites were:

Rain, about a guy who gives up the rat race to live a simpler life.

The Only One of Millions Just Like Him, about letting go of a beloved elderly dog.

With Elizabeth Berg, I always find something to enjoy, even in the stories I can't relate to. She makes observations about humans and life in general that are amusing or profound or both. You think to yourself, "Oh, it's sappy and sentimental." But th...more

first impression: i am just annoyed at what seems to be blatant pandering to female readers: the bright pink color scheme, the diet themed title, etc. (i do realize however that neither of those things may have been the choice of the author.) so far, the writing is confessional, sometimes amusing, although i don't find such an obsession with weight watchers that hilarious.

REVIEWER’S OPINION:
This book has about thirteen short stories. One has stories within a story. Each story is about different, unrelated people. Almost every story has sadness – in different ways. In most stories someone is dying or will die of cancer, leukemia, brain tumor, or similar. In one story, someone regrets that she was cruel and mean to a date years ago. He now has cancer. Another woman was sad within her marriage, gets a divorce, and now is sad and struggles to accept that her ex-husband has moved on. Most stories have reminiscing about the past. Most stories are about people in midlife or later. The beginning story is sad in a different way. The narrator lives every day with the unpleasantness of trying not to eat too much. She attends Weight Watcher meetings. It seems her greatest joy in life is eating fattening and junk food. Another story was about an eleven-year-old girl who has internal conflicts about eating food. In the end she has a sad realization.

In addition to sadness, there is loneliness. There is regret. I hoped that I wouldn’t be in those situations. In a couple of stories the endings have hopefulness, like the couple whose dog dies, and they decide to get a replacement puppy. The stories are true-to-life. Sad things happen to most people. There is always death coming. I prefer books that keep me away from those thoughts. I want to escape the sadnesses of life. I want to feel good. So for that reason I do not recommend this for myself. But I know some readers appreciate this kind of thing. Since I listened to this as an audiobook, I had more tolerance for lack of entertainment value. I can say this was not boring, and I did NOT feel that I wanted it to be over. In fact at times I felt a pleasant comfort – like being at a family gathering and reminiscing with relatives and friends. But if I were “reading” as opposed to listening, I might have felt more negatives about it.

The Booklist review mentions “the insatiable appetite for rich and comforting foods stems from a deeper hunger for enveloping and sustaining love.” That’s a fitting theme for some of the stories.

Reading ELizabeth Berg is kinda like eating apple pie a la mode: while you enjoy the flavor and guilty pleasure and rationalize that because it has apples it is nutritious, deep down inside you know you should be partaking of something more substantive. Nonetheless, we all need some dessert sometimes. This collection of short stories made me laugh out loud - particularly the title story, which should be read by anyone who ever tried to diet or "cut back" or went to Weight Watchers.

I am not a fan of the short story genre. I don't like becoming emotionally invested in characters only to have them leave me a few pages later. (No, I do not have abandonment issues.) But, heck, I'd read the back of a cereal box if it was written by Elizabeth Berg. Fortunately, I was not disappointed and only a bit miffed at the brief time spent with her characters.

This is most definitely a women's book but it is NOT chick lit. The collection of stories are not light, romantic fluff. Rather they...more

In particular, I enjoyed the story that was a letter reading a recipe for making apple pie and the story about Michael. I think I enjoyed listening to these stories more than I would have liked reading them -- the author reading them aloud made them feel like a conversation with a favorite aunt or an old friend.

I listened to this on audio, and it was a pleasant enough collection. I have mixed feelings about the author reading his or her own work. Sometimes it's great, but most of the time I understand why actors are hired for the job. In this case, Berg had a surprisingly annoying voice (I had 'pictured' it as so nice!), but not so irritating that I had to stop listening.

Berg has an uncanny ability to draw you so deeply into her character’s lives that you feel as if you know them. I often found myself smiling as I read about them, loving how Michael (in the story “Rain”) left his high-powered city job for life in the county.

I often found myself smiling as I read about them, loving how Michael (in the story “Rain”) left his high-powered city job for life in the county. Berg describes everything from how he built his home, to the spaghetti sauce his friends made using the riches in his garden, to the minute ways in which Michael changed when the uncertainties of life finally took their toll. Berg’s stories tug and your heartstrings, each in a different way.

As a foodie I also must mention how much I appreciated Berg’s attention to culinary detail. She doesn’t simply tell you that Michael and his friends enjoyed spaghetti sauce, she shows you how it was made and invites you to taste it in your mind’s eye: “onion and garlic… were sauteed in olive oil, basil and oregano and tomatoes still warm from the sun,” the main character writes. “I added a little honey and a little red wine and we let the sauce cook down, and then we ate outside, watching the sky redden, then purple, then go black and starry. Maybe it was the wood burning stove, but I have never tasted better marinara.”

My favorite story in the collection is titled “How to Make Apple Pie.” It’s told from the perspective of an 86-year-old woman, named Flo, writing a letter to a women who grew up next door. The way Berg characterized this narrator was so endearing I found myself wishing I was the recipient of her letter, which describes her prized recipe with instructions like: “The filling is a matter of sniff and add a bit of this, sniff and add a bit of that.” Overall Flo’s tone made me laugh, being both specific and vague at the same time, and reminding me so much of how my own grandmother outlines her recipes. “Add just a touch of nutmeg, nutmeg must always work undercover, where you taste it but you don’t know what it is. Like mace in sweet rolls or coffee in chocolate cake,” Flo continues, then cautions: “Your nose is your guide… Now if you have a cold, forget about making pie or anything else. Go over someplace like the Olive Garden and load up on all the garlic, that you will taste.”

I could go on and on about Flo – that’s how much I liked her – and while not all the stories in this book touched me so deeply, I have to say, I plan to buy the book just for this one story.

In addition to “Rain” and “How to Make and Apple Pie,” other stories I particularly enjoyed include: “The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted, ” “Full Count,” and “The Day I Ate Nothing I Even Remotely Wanted.”(less)

The stories contain a broad range of personalities and situations: the pre-teen on the edge of puberty whose self image as a cute girl is devastatingly changed when she overhears a cousin call her a fatty; the older couple reduced to ridiculous displays grief and wondering if life’s worth living when their aged dog is dying; a reci...more

I especially liked the first short of Berg's day where she ate whatever she wanted. I cheered her the whole way through (even to her next day weigh-in at Weight Watchers.)

To be completely honest, as I read through the first handful of stories, I began to wonder why I was wasting my time. Though the characters were deep and very endearing, and the writing was at times quite delicious, the tales seemed to be about women failing to find true liberation as a woman.

About the time I got to the short entitled "The Day I Ate Nothing I Remotely Wanted," which is about the middle, the irony of these women's lives began to sink in. I picked up this book thinking that it would be full of stories about doing things we think we shouldn't and how it ended sneakily happy. (Don't ask me why I picked it up in the first place; I really have no idea!)

However, the truth of the matter is, most of the time when we try to break the rules and do something we really shouldn't, it doesn't end well. Or if it does, it doesn't deliver what we thought it would.

I can't fully explain how these stories touched my heart, but they did. There is a beautiful vulnerability that readers are clandestinely exposed to when experiencing a moment in the life of a fictional character. I looked into the minds of these women, and they were made memorable and taught me valuable lessons. They also gave me a little insight into the heart of my future self, a woman perhaps twenty or thirty years older than I am now.

Even though half the book kept me complaining about being disappointed with the way the shorts ended, I'm giving Ms. Berg's book 4/5 stars because her characters are fabulously structured. I wanted to know these women, learn from their vulnerability or steadfastness or just plain determination to find joy in the midst of the mundane.

Also, her writing is very, very good. I can see why she has books on the New York Times best sellers list and has curried the favor of Oprah. She writes quite well. There were many lines I would have liked to have highlighted. I've broadened my own craft by reading these stories.

I believe my initial dissatisfaction sprouted from a few things: a gloss of unnecessary profanity (though few of the main characters used it themselves), some inappropriate subject matter (which real women are wont to talk about), but mostly from my own unmet, preconceived expectations.

These stories would, I believe, be better and more fully appreciated by women ages fifty and better. As I said, the irony of these women's lives was lost on me initially, simply because I lack the experience necessary to empathize with the characters' desires. But as I also said, I have grown from reading this, and that's really the point of reading anything, isn't it?

----------------
NOTE: I wouldn't recommend it to my CP teens AT ALL. Don't put it on your to-read list, girls. Not until you're at least 30 years old. Otherwise, it will probably make no sense at all. :oP(less)

Listening to these thirteen stories, read by author Elizabeth Berg, was like having a really clever friend along for car rides. I was often amused, seldom bored and mostly inspired to find someone who gets a certain type of woman so completely.

“By now I was feeling the shame but also defiance. Like here, I'm carrying the banner for all of you who cut off a little piece of cake wanting a big one, who spend a good third of your waking hours feeling bad about your desires, who infect those with whom you work and live with your judgments and pronouncements, you on the program who tally points all day long, every day, let's see, 7 for breakfast, I'm going to need only 3 or 4 for lunch, what the hell can I have for so little, oh, I know, broth and a salad with very little dressing. And broth is good! Yes! So chicken-y! That's what we tell ourselves, we who cannot eat air without gaining, we who eat the asparagus longing for the potatoes au gratin, for the fettuccine Alfredo, for the pecan pie. And if you're one of those who doesn't, stop right here, you are not invited to the rest of this story.”

As the subject of the title story suggests, many of these stories are about food and weight issues. Berg wisely intersperses other issues, but when I say she gets a certain type of woman, I mean that she gets those of us for whom food is a daily issue. Judging by her proficiency and popularity, there are a lot of us.

One of my favorite stories is about twelve year-old Janie. She is going through life rather confidently and happily, feeling completely beloved and a little befuddled by the world’s reaction to her when suddenly a single day makes her realize she’s one of the world’s “fat girls.” Berg writes her with such heart-breaking realism that I felt her pain and shock when she realized that her many blessings are still not the life she wanted.
“She is loved. It is good, but she thought it was more.”
Her other major theme is aging. In some ways I felt fifteen years too young to truly relate to many of these empty-nesters, but, again, Berg’s skill in bringing these women to life still made them good stories. She injects just enough humor to prevent any of her women from becoming maudlin.

“And so, I finished having my petulant little memorial service for my self that had never gotten to be.”

I haven’t read all that much Elizabeth Berg, but she certainly seems a pleasant way to pass the time. (less)
