I'm embarrassed to resort to a dopey cliche but Joy Williams really has "the magic touch." I loved all these stories with the exception of "The Route." Otherwise I can't help but mention that the drawing adorning the cover was an unfortunate choice. Really bad. Oh well, no reflection on the stories.
