This Other Eden A good  collection of short stories if you are not put off by the blurb which says: "Failure, miscarriages and suicide. Divorce, incest and misery"

A five-star read. A collection of shorts that take the reader on a whirlwind exploration of various relationships from voyeuristic neighbors to broken marriages to high school proms that end with UFOs, from visits from her legless ex just returned from Iraq who looks at what he should've got, from strip club rendevouses after the baby is delivered to picnics in the park. There's a darkness and a threateningness underlying each story. Each one is just skirting the edge of the chasm.

Erotic choose-your-own-adventure... yes. I really enjoyed this.

No disrespect to Hemmingson, but I grabbed this book from a library display just to read the interviews. I had to know more about the person that wrote Europe Central. All I can say now is that I am desperate to read more of his work, particularly The Royal Family and The Ice Shirt.Complaints about the quality of this printing are just. The interviews are interesting but didn't anyone proof this?
