| Summary: | Strolling like a possum through neighborhood yards, Sherrie Flick takes it all in. The paperboy seduced over a glass of milk, the dinner prepared for a dead man, the boy on the foyer floor considering a spray of yellow paint. In Whiskey, Etc., it's the particulars that draw you closer, the stained coffee cups, curled-up dogs, wood-burning stoves and canoes snug in their sheds, to a muddled loneliness housed behind crystalline windows. To follow Flick's cowboy-possum saunter across these dazzling short stories is to visit life, desperate and languid and dolefully funny, where it happens. |
