Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671024620, Paperback)Small masterpieces...[a] dazzling collection....Like Alice Munro, virtually her only equal in the field, Deborah Eisenberg here seems incapable of writing a bad short story...She focuses on misfits, people who don't feel at home in the world. So skilled is she at developing these characters as engagingly "ordinary" that we find ourselves identifying with them without realizing how we got there....Eisenberg's writing at times approaches the beauty of a line of poetry. She manipulates her readers with a master's blend of humor and poignancy. Her stories are wondrous....-- David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
