Reviews
On Jul 22 2014, a reader said:
I'm working my way through all the Flannery O'Connor Award winners for short fiction, of which this is one. He tells an interesting story, but unlike other FOC winners, it didn't seem quite as polished. It is worth a read, but don't expect the well-crafted prose of an Antonya Nelson or a Molly Giles.
