5.0 out of 5 stars
Lee Abbott is a master of the American short story.,
By dstrauss@cmp.com -- Darin Strauss (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LOVE IS THE CROOKED THING (Paperback)
Abbott's collection of stories never drags; each piece is a gem, each begins as the action starts, and goes on to reveal the most telling facts of character in artful ways. Perhaps because of his abundant humor, Abbot has been called a "maximalist," but that is not fair, really--because that implies a man of messy technique, someone who throws words on the page willy-nilly. He is as careful with his words as is any good writer. He just has style.
