The stories in 'Someday This Will Be Funny' marry memory to moment in a union of narrative form as immaculate and imperfect as the characters damned to act them out on page..."--P. (4) of cover.

That's how I feel..." - Jonathan Safran Foer "Like an acupuncturist, Lynne Tillman knows the precise points in w...
