A Kind of Flying: Selected Stories

Rating:
Summary: Reasonable Hope - the kind that we try to live by
Review: Ron Carlson writes wonderful stories, a celebrated master of the short story form because he peoples his work with characters who dare not only to love, be hurt, feel betrayal and anger - but to stick by their hopes stubbornly (sometimes too stubbornly). The stories are tough and realistic and will tell you things about your life and the lives around you that you may not want to consider, but they are also hopeful and they remind us of the better things in our hearts, too. This is a lovely collection - buy it!
