If you have just picked up this book, and find yourself mired in the title story then I have this advice: keep reading. It gets way, way better. I saw Deborah Eisenberg read in Brooklyn, and she herself chose to illuminate a section from "Revenge of the Dinosaurs", which captures a dialogue between a brother and sister that is wholly believable and frighteningly raw. My stand-out favorite story of the collection is "Window" but really all of them, with the exception of "Twilight" itself, are worth a read.
