I've been a J. Salter fan for a long time, but generally I'm not a fan of short stories---I need a little more meat in my fiction. But I enjoyed nearly all of these stories, and the title story, the last in the collection, was especially powerful. I can't get it out of my head. I think it would make a terrific play if it could be expanded a bit. Highly recommended. ( )

Should have been a best seller, and over its long lifetime probably will be. So why not now?
