Book Reviews of Natasha: And Other Stories
Book Review: A Beautiful, if Brief, Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
Short stories are hard, for me at least. There has got to be something about a collection that keeps me reading on after finishing one story. Natasha is one of those collections that has several "things" that keep me reading. First, the writing is excellent. Bezmozgis has one description right in the first story of spring ariving. The description is brief but at the same time incredibly evocative. With that, he had me hooked. The stories are interesting, particularly in light of the fact that they concern one family and have the same narrator--a young boy who emigrated with his family from Latvia to Canada in the late 70s. Their early struggles and later successes are captured quite beautifully in these stories. Natasha is not a imposing collection; it is a brief, enjoyable read--about 145 pages of well-written, compelling stories.
