I started this tonight. The stories are very interesting.
I am not overly fond of short stories. I usually find myself underwhelmed and wanting more. There are collections that I love but they tend to be exceptions to the rule. That is probably why it took me so long to read this one even though I am a big fan of Richard Russo. Thankfully due to #Litsyatoz I pulled this one off my shelves. Is every story in it amazing? Nope. However they all encompass everything about Russo's writing style that I love.
The titular story is brilliant so it's a shame that's it's the first one in the collection. The rest are hit or miss. Still, Russo is a very talented writer and I'd highly recommend Empire Falls.
