I very much enjoyed Jess Walter’s short story collection “We Live in Water” (2013).
I often find short fiction to be unsatisfying. It can be difficult to get to know (and have any feeling about) characters in such a short period of time. But Walter grabs you with his tales told from the perspective alcoholics, convicts and tweakers.
I am looking forward to reading Walter’s novels.
Read reviews from the NY Times, the Boston Globe and NPR.
