A good collection of stories spanning a wide range of years. As a collection, no broad theme or overarching goal. Some are great, a few are less than great, but the overall quality is very good. A teacher in Alabama was dismissed for assigning this to her students because it advocated "the killing off of elderly people and free sex."
