...begins with a story set in the sort of mythical small town of plenty that Krasikov's characters might dream of...Here Groff peers behind the white picket fence to reveal a nastier underside; other stories take in World War II, and transpose the tale of Heloise And Abelard to New York in 1918. * Metro * Groff's first collection of stories, Delicate Edible Birds, demonstrates the often surprising ways that quality can bear fruit.
