Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A distinguished collection of old and new stories on love, the vagaries of the imagination and more from this founding editor of the Paris Review .
Copyright 1994 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
Steele here presents 14 stories, most ) lightweight and some seemingly snippets from larger writings. "Forget the Geraniums," "The Silent Scream," and "Ah Love!" are all candidates for a nonsense or joke book, while other stories are ultimately ineffectual because of plot and stylistic experiment. Steele can nicely handle detailed description, but in "What To Do Until the Postman Comes" and "Tin Can" he overuses exposition to flesh out weak tales. Only "The Hat of My Mother" and "The Glass-Brick Apartment" are appealing in their childhood reminiscences. A weak collection. Glenn O. Carey, Eastern Kentucky Univ., Richmond
