I don't enjoy short stories as a rule, but found this book interesting in letting me sample a variety of authors, some well-known and some I'd never heard of before. I like best the Sherman Alexi story (some humor and a lot of outlook on the American Indian experience from one of their own). Philip Roth's story was a pleasant surprise as I have never enjoyed his writings and after two attempts at his earlier novels, skip over him. I found this tale a good "coming of age" take on something that may or may not have really happened. It was also interesting to read, or at least try to get into some very well-known and venerated authors and finding them not much to my liking - but at least I now have an idea of why I don't care to read certain authors.
