I feel like a prick for thinking this, but these stories came off as big fish from some little writing workshop pond. Out in the real world they're pretty underwhelming.

The stories all start out nicely enough, Gummerman can draw you in, they all just peter-out into character studies and aimless noodling, like some literary equivalent of an extended twenty-minute drum solo at a jam band concert.
