Ah...another Steve Almond collection.
I really do enjoy this man's writing, though I don't think this collection was a strong as his earlier, My Life In Heavy Metal, collection. Still, it was nice to read some short stories that were intelligently written, and not ponderous.
It's hard to pick a favorite, though the title story is quite good. "Summer, As In Love" was good, but I wanted more resolution.
"Lincoln, Arisen," did not work for me. Frankly, I didn't understand what Almond was going for here.
I will continue to look for new works by Mr. Steve Almond.
