  <default-description>The Paris Reviewasks: who hasn't survived a tax audit, a snowstorm, a break-up, or presided over a murder? The next addictively clever Paris Reviewanthology is nota self-help manual; rather it is a wicked elaboration onthe human effort to overcome-and instigate-trouble. Throughout these pages you will find men plagued with guilt, women burdened by history, scientists bound by passion, mothers fogged with delusion, and lovers vexed with jealousy. In the theme that encompasses every life,no protagonist-or reader!-is exempt.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book several years ago but felt no inspiration to read it until a few weeks ago.  Some of the short stories were totally off-the-wall and wonderful, others were kind of lackluster.  I'm very happy to have read short stories by so many notable authors, several of whom are Guggenheim fel...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46393163">more...</a>]]></body>
