Great, contempory short sories. Haven't read all of them but here's the first line from my favorite so far: "Your father picks you up from prison in a stolen Dodge Neon, with an 8-ball of coke in the glove compartment and a hooker named Mandy in the back seat." - Until Gwen by Dennis Lehane
Not necessarily indicative of the rest of the stories....but how can you not want to read more of that?

Some very good stories in this volume.
I love the best American short stories series and this was a great one! I thought it had some really unique and cool stories in it!
I read some of the stories - pretty sad lives, I haven't read enough short fiction to know if that is a prerequisite (maybe it is for Michael Chabon).
