Positive[PANK]... hard to resist ... there is no plot. These entries explore the mundane and, at times, are tedious but the overall effect is brilliant. Like an abstract painting that has the viewer thinking, \'My child could have painted this,\' Julavits tricks the reader into thinking \'I could have written that,\' when in reality her sparse prose is full of gems ... Anyone who has found beauty in the mundane and has questioned how small moments make up a life will enjoy this book.
