Not exactly crime fiction...

although there are several murders in this collection. But for once, considering the author's tendencies, I am truly grateful there are no cats among these 16 short stories! In case you can't tell from my Boston Globe review, I preferred Faber's novel, "The Crimson Petal and the White." But as I read more of his work, I have begun to think this fat, fun novel was an anomaly.

Psst, I've been tagged so I am now tagging you! You have to list oln your blog 78 random facts you have never told anyone and then mention 7 or so blogs of other people (tagging them along the way.) I know, it's kind of a chain blog, but it could be fun!

I'm so glad you put up Farber. He's one writer I've been meaning to read and this is just the nudge I need.
