Hope all the stories are as good as the first one!
So far I've only read the first story about the desolation within Chuck's Donuts shop, the woman runs it with her two daughters and the strange man who comes in every night and orders an apple fritter but never takes a bite. I envisioned a present day West Coast version of the Hopper painting, Nighthawks. It's funny, sad, slightly scary and the women's experiences with men kind of makes me want to try to make up for all my own faults as a father and a husband. If the other stories are half as good as this one, this book is a winner.
