Reviews
The stories in Karin Lin-Greenberg's debut collection are gems. Her characters walk the narrow line between comedy and tragedy, a lean territory thatLin-Greenberg navigates with skill and grace. I loved her curmudgeonly grandfathers, her young parents and college students and recovering alcoholics, her feuding septuagenarian housemates and fading talk show hosts. The range in this book is deep and marvelous. What fierce talent Lin-Greenberg has., The ten luminous stories in Lin-Greenberg's masterful collection are united by her examination of the various and devious ways people try to put things into perspective. . . . A winner of the coveted Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, Lin-Greenberg deservedly joins such past recipients as Ha Jin, Kellie Wells, and Antonya Nelson as she offers a piquant look at life's bittersweet moments., Karin Lin-Greenberg is a connoisseur of screwy family dynamics and outrageous situations. The ten inventive and diverse stories in this debut collection cover a lot of territory, from a pig on a city bus to the Half and Half Multicultural Club's 'Things Inside of Other Things' special event put on at the local nursing home. Here you will meet a man who smashes loaves of grocery store bread for the good of society, and you'll witness the Running of the Brides at Filene's Basement. Lin-Greenberg makes joyful sense of it all. What a pleasure it has been to read these wise and wonderful stories., Faulty Predictions is, as the name suggests, about all of the ways we expect more or less than we should from other people--parents, friends, lovers--as well as ourselves. The people who inhabit these stories are complicated, struggling, and often hilarious. Karin Lin-Greenberg offers everything I come to fiction hoping for--engaging narrators, precise observation, surprise, and finally compassion for the ways in which we are, all of us, flawed. Readers, you are in for a treat., These stories are delightfully contemporary: in their telling, their wit, and their dissections of the way we live. A vivid and refreshing new voice., This collection of ten short stories announces the arrival of a talented young writer with a distinctive narrative voice. . . . She is a gifted storyteller. . . . Unlike so many story collections today, which tend to the dark and cryptic, Faulty Predictions pulses with a bemused energy. . . . In these ten stories, Lin-Greenberg displays impressive insight into human nature and empathy for regular people trying to make sense of their lives and circumstances. She also possesses a nicely dry wit and a gift for realistic dialogue that pops off the page. Remember her name; she is a young writer worth watching., Faulty Predictions is, as the name suggests, about all of the ways we expect more or less than we should from other people-parents, friends, lovers-as well as ourselves. The people who inhabit these stories are complicated, struggling, and often hilarious. Karin Lin-Greenberg offers everything I come to fiction hoping for-engaging narrators, precise observation, surprise, and finally compassion for the ways in which we are, all of us, flawed. Readers, you are in for a treat., Some of the stories in Faulty Predictions have appeared previously in excellent literary journals, and it's easy to see why: they range, colorfully and empathically, across a number of worlds and human predicaments. Appealingly, the voices narrating them, whatever the point of view, share a winning, gentle, clear gravity. These are stories you can easily enter and dwell in, but which not only shy away from the difficult - they head straight for it. . . . Faulty Predictions is a delightful debut, worth finding and savoring.
