Summary: John Ashcroft & the creature from the black lagoon
Comment: This is the best short fiction collection I've read in several years. ShepardÕs stories are both economical and leanÑthere isnÕt much here thatÕs over 20 pages long, but Shepard packs into those 20 pages a complexity of theme and character that most writers canÕt approach even at novella length. It is a dizzying collection, by turns violent, funny, and wrenchingly sad. Each piece is finely wrought, honed to a sharp edge. Shepard writes in a dazzling array of voices, handling each with effortless authority. He is particularly good at adolescents (see also the amazing Project X), but these stories also give voice to a Yugoslav football player, a German test pilot, John Entwhistle, John Ashcroft, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Superb.
