This is an absolutely fantastic collection of stories, impressive in the skill displayed across a mighty range of tone, time, and genre. Parts of it are the most depressing things I've read all year; parts are savagely funny; parts break your heart. The irony of the title (because there is very little that Proulx shows us in here that is fine just the way it is); the wicked twists; the realism and the surrealism. This is how you do it.
