Book Reviews of The Ends of Our Tethers: 13 Sorry Stories
Book Review: Troubling but mostly brilliant
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent, hilarious and often disturbing collection of short stories. My one criticism is that the penultimate story, an account of a protest against the Iraq war, is so tonally different from the other pieces that it rings false. The other stories have an almost Beckett-like abstraction and eternal quality, the penultimate story has already dated.
