Patrick, the Borders where I can shop, at Columbus Circle in NY, has a cool website which tells what it stocks and even where the title is located on the shelf! And you can reserve a copy and then go pick it up. Maybe you can do that at your Borders. But it's a Harper Collins book. Any major bookstore or independent literary bookstore should have it.

If you read it, please let me know what you think.

Can I pick that book up at Border? I tend to be too lazy to order it online or too easily taken in by scams that tell me I could save money by ordering books online.

Yes, Burrett is not afraid to write in more than one emotional register. The title story is quite moving because of it.

The stories are mostly small-scale and fable-like. I suppose that's rather post-modern. I am looking forward to more by AB.

. . . always so glad to hear about a writer producing emotionally sophisticated stuff . . . so much post-modern literature feels wooden to me . . .
