This is a great collection of 15 short stories that deal with alcoholism. The list of authors is impressive (John Cheever, Joyce Carol Oates, Langston Hughes, Raymond Carver, etc.) and all the stories are quite good, but Susan Minot’s “The Navigator” manages to stand out – it’s really heartbreaking without being sentimental.
