"Dumped" - and who hasn't been? Twenty-three stories told from the vantage point of the dumpee, but also the dumper. Some are funny, many are sad, all are thought-provoking. Contributors include Jane Austen ("I felt myself to be solemnly engaged to him....but unfortunately he did not feel the same"), Roald Dahl (his immortal 'Lamb to the Slaughter' depicts cops discussing the whereabouts of a murder weapon with the comment, "probably right under our very noses"), Dorothy Parker (They hate you whenever you say anything you really think), and Dallas Angguish, who takes on being dumped from the perspective of a precocious gay teenage boy. All in all, a very entertaining collection.
