RavePaperback ParisAt last, Winik\'s critically acclaimed, cult favorites Glen Rock and Baltimore Book of the Dead have been carefully combined in their proper order, revealing more clearly than ever before the character hidden throughout these stories: Winik herself ... arresting portraits ... continues Winik\'s work as an empathic chronicler of life ... a masterclass in flash fiction. It is a grand tapestry of life that you get to see created thread by thread. It is as much a mystery as life itself because at the start we get condensed versions of entire lives only to find out there is a connection at each turn. It is a connection either outright stated or implied and inferred by the reader, and also a brilliant use of intrigue by Winik ... Putting all of the loss of a lifetime so far may seem like a morbid premise for a nearly 300-page book, but the end result is cathartic and strangely comforting.
