The book runs to a scant 86 pages, but book length isn’t the point here. Brevity and emotional impact is the point; essence is the point, and engagement. And her stories do engage. Reminiscent of Lorrie Moore’s 1986 debut collection Self-Help, which also deals primarily with the problems of young love, Fantetti exhibits a similar sureness of touch and can be just as caustically funny. Priser
Funny, tender and poignant, A Recipe for Disaster is populated by quirky characters who blend desire, imperfect love and comfort food into the sweet and salty mix of daily life while they yearn for the sustenance of human connection. A bemused child witnesses her mother flirt with a police officer responding to a domestic dispute call. A young woman mourns the end of a relationship, recalling the potently toxic recipe that created the disastrous union. A son struggles to accept his father's emotional frailties and reject his passive approach to loss. A couple finally commits-to breaking up. A recently divorced woman meditates on the source of her ravenous cravings. A woman decides to end the prolonged vow of silence she took with her devout, hyper-critical mother. Six skillful and witty stories that will engage your heart. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Unlike in most modern short stories, the characters are somehow well-rounded and you find yourself caring about them right away.
