The Quiet Enemy (Contemporary American Fiction) von Cecil Dawkins

I'm not sure how to rate or review this collection. Some of these stories knocked my socks off. Others were just strange and a little boring. Dawkins has true talent, though. Because her characters are looking at reality through such a microscopic lens, the stories at times felt a bit like horror. Overall, this book was good & weird. My favorite stories were "Eminent Domain", "The Buffalo Farm", and "The Quiet Enemy".
