Gah! Amazing. Couldn't wait to read this after the story "Bullet in the Brain" came out in the New Yorker. Raymond Carver's mentorship is apparent, in a good way. Like Carver and Dahl, Wolff writes stories that have a single, simple plot -- then the rug is pulled out and the characters reveal their true selves (Though "Bullet" reminds me more of Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine).
