Summary: I liked this Author's book so much, I bought his car.
Comment: Simply put, a great book. The characters in here knock you out. Pick up this book and you'll begin to look at people differently. By the way, the car's a gem too.
Rating: 5
Summary: Keep writing, Kevin Canty
Comment: This stunning collection approaches literary perfection. I refuse to go on and (yawn) about it, because there's just not much more to say. It is minimalist fiction, after all.
So many--mostly undeserving--writers have been compared to Carver that it no longer has any meaning, and even a negative connotation. When somebody says that now, it's our queue to run. Too bad for a writer who actually deserves the comparison. I love Raymond Carver's work more than life itself, but Canty stood shoulder to shoulder with him right out of the gate with his first published collection. Who knows where he'll take us in the future.
[I would love to know who the editor was who recognized the brilliance of Canty-the-then-unknown a few years ago, and gave the thumbs up to publish. That's an editor who knows the craft, who knows what s/he's doing. Because of that I would take a chance on that editor's future choices. It's not like literary fiction, especially this good, is a big money-maker. Generally, the better you are, the harder it is to get published.]
Rating: 5
Summary: It's got memorable scenes that you dont want to remember
Comment: An excellent collection of stories. Interesting and thought provoking with memorable and enexpected scenarios. Makes you think what you'd do if someone points a gun to your head.
