Excellent in every way
The story, the characters!This book is sensational, probably the best I have read in years.Do not miss this.Mr. Alexander is solid.

The Final Audit
This book provides an intimate view into the frightening world of international business.It also provides excellent political undertones to the arguably unfair connections necessary to succeed in the modern businessenvironment.There is also a wonderful portrayal of how Giles has learnedto cope with the difficulties and mask his true self to even closeassociates.A must read.Read more

Not afraid of Virginia Woolf in more than one story
Recently I read that Virginia Woolf wrote a letter from a mental nursing home stating, "I feel my brains, like a pear to see if it's ripe: it will be exquisite by September."Now I understand the photograph of the pear with the bite out of it on the cover of this clever book of short fiction. The homage to Virginia Woolf in the story "Mrs Dalloway Went That-Away" opens even farther the door on the Bloomsbury closet. And brings Woolf into the contemporary scene. The screenplay about the Grand Duchess Anastasia reads very nicely on the page. Over-all an enjoyable evening's read.

Movie Buff loves these entertaining filmic stories
What a surprise to find the "Mrs. Dalloway" Legend of Virginia Woolf spinning out of Michael Cunningham's novel "The Hours" into not only the film versions of Vanessa Redgrave's "Mrs. Dalloway" and Nicole Kidman's "The Hours" but also into Jack Fritscher's extraordinary fusion of a short story, "Mrs. Dalloway Went That-A-Way." For movie fans and literary sleuths like me, the tricks all these writers use is a joy. "Mrs. Dalloway Went That-A-Way" is a great story in this collection of really entertaining short fiction.(This must be the first short story about "Civil Union" in Vermont.) The stories are called "coffee house stories," and the subtitle is a point well made. Well done.

A diverse and representative compilation
Sweet Embraceable You is a diverse and representative compilation of eight totally engaging short stories by experienced and gifted storyteller and writer Jack Fritscher. These original and highly entertaining stories include Mrs. Dalloway Went That-A-Way; The Unseen Hand In The Lavender Light; The Story Knife; Missing Persons; Silent Mothers, Silent Sons; Duchess: Berlin 1928; Kweenasheba; and the title story, Sweet Embraceable You. Enthusiastically recommended recreational reading! ... Read more

A link between theorical concepts and everyday life...
I had the pleasure to sit in Mr Shecter's classroom last semester inUniversit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al. He tought us about contemporarysociological authors. Having met the man, it was especially interesting forme to read the three stories that make up this delightfull little book.Especially interesting for the adept of social sciences, The Dangers ofCritical Thought, even though written in the novel mode, makes manyreferences to sociological theories and gives the reader an interestingoutlook of the socio-political portrait of the province of Qu?bec, viewedthrough the eyes of an Anglophone. It also gives an insight on love andrelationships between couples of different sexual orientations.Read more
