    <body><![CDATA[The novella at the heart of the book is worth six stars, while the framing stories, while essential, don't quite cut it for me; they feel a little too mediated by the influence of some of Vann's heroes and mentors, such as Tobias Wolff. So the rating averages out as four (I'd give it four and a half if I could.) But the book as a whole is absolutely worth your time.]]></body>
