    <body><![CDATA[This is a very funny, very out-of-the-ordinary collection of short stories (7 stories and the novella-length title story).  Most of Pendarvis' characters make Ignatius J. Reilly look like a guy you'd take home to Mama.  The stories are wild and whimsical and Pendarvis' imagination rarely slows to le...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11798556">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At first glance, Your Body Is Changing, the new short-story collection by Jack Pendarvis, is right out of the George Saunders school of satirical short fiction. The eight stories compose an allegorical road novella, stories of unlovable schmucks stuck in their ruts, and a few pieces of experimental ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2410095">more...</a>]]></body>
