5.0 out of 5 stars Lee Abbott is a master of the American short story., 28 July 1998
By A Customer
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.
