Interesting short stories having nothing to do with Lithuani
I ordered this book thinking its short stories would be about Lithuania by a visitor, perhaps. Instead, the stories, while quite well written, are about the author's experiences in Baltimore, where some Lithuanians happen to cross paths, peripherally, with the author, and about his interactions with Arabs, here and in Africa -- which stories have a decided (I think)...

Winner, All-Time Dumbest title
This has got to take the prize for the dumbest title ever. The book has nothing to do with Lithuania. They are not Lithuanian short stories in translation. They are not Lithuanian short stories in inspiration. True, the characters do meet some Lithuanians (more accurately, Americans of Lithuanian descent) in Baltimore, but ... that's it.

Interesting short stories having nothing to do with Lithuani,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lithuania: Short Stories (Johns Hopkins: Poetry and Fiction) (Paperback)
I ordered this book thinking its short stories would be about Lithuania by a visitor, perhaps. Instead, the stories, while quite well written, are about the author's experiences in Baltimore, where some Lithuanians happen to cross paths, peripherally, with the author, and about his interactions with Arabs, here and in Africa -- which stories have a decided (I think) homosexual bent. Readers hoping for a travelogue about Lithuania are sure to be disappointed, if not annoyed, and might well ask for a refund.
