I read this collection of short stories when I was about 14 years old. At that time in my life, a compendium of depressing tales was probably the last thing I needed, but they were so fascinating and bizarre I couldn't put the book down. I mean, who wants to read stories about boring average people who have no personal demons, no monkeys on their backs, no crosses to bear? Nobody. What makes characters interesting (amongst others things) are their challenges and the attitudes they take towards them. Berry's characters aren't heroes and rarely overcome their demons, but this is the point: real people usually aren't heroes either. More often than not, we carry our crosses and our burdens, in some part, throughout the course of our lives. Either way, this book is grossly underrated. Read it!
