Stories that capture our times by "a young author who has already established himself as a unique American voice" (Elle).

Said Sayrafiezadeh has been hailed by Philip Gourevitch as "a masterful storyteller working from deep in the American grain." His new collection of storiesâ??some of which have appeared in The New Yorker, the Paris Review, and the Best American Short Storiesâ??is set in a contemporary America full of the kind of emotionally bruised characters familiar to readers of Denis Johnson and George Saunders. These are people contending with internal strugglesâ??a son's fractured relationship with his father, the death of a mother, the loss of a job, drug addictionâ??even as they are battered by larger, often invisible, economic, political, and racial forces of American society.

Excellent short stories, he has a great perspective on being a young American these days. Humor and sensitivity. ( )

A lot of hope and heart beneath the surface bleakness. ( )

This is a collection of short stories that focus on young men who are treading water in their lives, dealing with entry-level jobs, mothers dying of cancer and a general inability to have things go smoothly. But Saïd Sayrafiezadeh also fills these stories with ordinary pleasures and glimpses of hope; a man remembers when his mother buys him a shirt at Goodwill that gives him credibility at his new school or a young man stuck in a dead end job meets a girl he likes. Sayrafiezadeh doesn't mind making the reader uncomfortable or uncertain. He's writing about the working class, the marginalized and the discontented. And the stories are quietly perfect, from the clear and unobtrusive writing, to the way the author creates vivid settings within a single paragraph. This book reminded me of why I love short stories so much, that when they are well-crafted, they contain entire lives in single moments. ( )
