There are more than thirty stories in this collection and virtually all of them are excellent in their way. Some are exemplars of the kind of story that is tightly associated with a particular author, such as Richard Yates’ “A Glutton for Punishment” or Junot Díaz’ “Edison, New Jersey” or Ford’s own “Under the Radar”. Some are just stunning tours de force, such as Joyce Carol Oates’ “High Lonesome” or ZZ Packer’s “Geese” or James Alan McPherson’s “A Solo Song: For Doc”. And some I just plain liked, such as Richard Bausch’s “Unjust” or John Cheever’s “The World of Apples” or Edward P. Jones’ “The Store” or Thomas McGuane’s “Cowboy” or Elizabeth Strout’s “Pharmacy”.
The truth is that I liked a great many of these stories. And perhaps you will too. ( )
