A man jumps
from the 48th floor.
A love that
goes unrequited for a lonely, fat man.
A mad woman
ranting over the outrage regarding the 9/11 attacks.
“Desperate people
do desperate things, and sometimes they see no other way
out.” (7)
Candid and
well-versed, these short stories are a witty portrayal of life’s challenges and
the untimely demise. Tales were so refreshingly frank and had that wonderful
touch of irony.
“It’s an
amazing moment…when you come face to
face with your
mortality…There’s the possibility
of seeing that
time cut short
by unforeseen circumstances.” (69)
With
haunting beauty and keen perception, the author managed to make death a
splendored thing. A good read!
My rating: 4 stars
