I really enjoyed Deborah Eisenberg’s collection of short
stories Under the 82nd Airborne (1992),
and want to read all of her stories. Twilight of the Superheroes (200&) is
her latest collection, and while there are some very good stories-they
generally lack the exotic flavor of the previous book, which was set in South
America during the 80s. This collection is considered post 9/11, but I think
only one story deals with it directly, but it haunts several of the other
stories. I guess these stories were probably written 25 years apart, so I
imagine Eisenberg’s life has changed quite a bit since then as well, and these
stories, which are generally set in New York among elites reflect that, but is
harder for me to relate to, that being said she brings these world to life
vividly in an engaging manner. My favorite stories were “Window” and “The Flaw
In The Design.” I still need to get her Collected Stories So Far.
