Jim Hanas

I didn't find much humor in these stories, which was depressing. Speaking of depressing, the stories were overflowing with tears (one of them, quite literally). And I understand that the title IS "Why They Cried," but even so, you would think that at least the last annoying chapter chopped full of different stories about CRYING would perhaps be cut out. People cry...we understand! I couldn't help but say I did want to find out what happened at the end of most stories, though, so that's why I show more gave it the rating I did. show less

Short modern fiction with a very McSweeney's feel, charmingly packaged in a free ebook.

If this sounds enjoyable to you, your time is definitely not wasted with these 2 off-kilter stories. Worst-case scenario: you become a fan of Hanas and your'e out ~$10 when you buy the collection these were taken from.
