Summary: Lovely and Amazing
Comment: This is an unusual and deeply beautiful collection. The language is fantastic, and all the stories are rollicking and resonant. The story "Ellen's book is a lesson in how to write a perfect, poignant short story. "Goodnight, Nobody" was my book club's favorite last year--don't miss it!
Rating: 5
Summary: Exquisite Writing, Insight
Comment: I loved Birdland in the New Yorker and the New Stories From the South, and when I saw that Knight had published a collection with Birdland included, I was thrilled. The rest of the stories were just as good. Unlike some of the up and coming male Southern writers, Knight doesn't simply resort to what reviewers call "muscular prose" with gleeful enthusiasm, an excitement I do not share. Knight's writing goes beyond whores and guns and dogs. It's insightful, aware, poetic, and the stories never fail to move me. I think this author has been overlooked, and I hope this collection gets him the recognition he deserves.
Rating: 4
Summary: Haunting and Beautiful
Comment: I truly enjoyed this book of short stories. The protagonists of all the stories are confused, disillusioned, compassionate, and searching for what is just out of their grasp. They are bleakly comic, and highly thought provoking. I can't get some of these stories out of my mind.
I especially enjoyed "Ellen's Book". It made me think about many different facets of relationships, and how you never know what will or won't hold couples together.
