Reviews

The 11 stories in this recipient of the 1989 Iowa Short Fiction Award, well-crafted in plot and vivid in language, form a funny and sad whole that powerfully exceeds the sum of its parts. Characters just embarking on adulthood--as in "For a Good Time, Call Matthew" and "Learning Italian" and "The Glass of Milk"--or confronting death and separation, as in "Walking, Walking," are universally motivated by love in a variety of forms, including healthy self-love. Changing relationships, like those in "Lent," "Every Known Diversion" and "The Coalition," force characters to reconsider the emotional and sexual discoveries of their youth while foreshadowing a later acceptance of disillusionment and sense of fulfillment. Convincing, likable characters and archetypal experiences enrich Flythe's first--but, one hopes, not his last--book.
