4.19.2017 - The Dinner Party

The Dinner Party and Other Stories by Joshua Ferris

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was excited to read this book, even though short stories are not my favorite. But Joshua Ferris' writing makes these so worth reading - and they left me wanting more.

Most of these stories are set in the mundane of the world - moving, going to work, a dinner party - but all have twists of misunderstandings and self-doubt. There was something in each story that left me feeling in tune with what the characters were feeling - although certainly not taking those feelings to the extremes like in these stories!

Kudos to the author for capturing the good and bad of all of us!
