Treichel's depictions of everyday life in small town, rural Wisconsin can be both haunting and humorous. We become enthralled in the small self-discoveries of everyday people, so enthralled at times that we don't realize that we are often simultaneously discovering something about ourselves. We mourn the loss of childhood innocence and relish in the discovery of newfound freedoms. We are able to relate to their revelations. Even if our paths to them differ, we have come to the same conclusions, and Treichel captures these moments beautifully. With well-crafted prose and stunning insight into the human condition, Close is Fine is a huge success. I highly recommend it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Like a Polaroid snapshot, this finely wrought collection of short stories gives us a brief glimpse into the quirky and complex lives of rural town inhabitants. As the characters struggle to define their individuality and reconcile their ideals with ordinary life, we are witness to their unique self-discoveries. At times mournful and haunting, this story collection celebrates the nobility of simple life, of striving and failing without ever losing hope. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The slice of life stories range in tone from downright depressing to wryly amusing and Treichel's characters truly shine; they are diverse, interesting, and so wonderfully human. They're likable, despicable, pitiable; their actions and dialogue feel natural. The small-town/rural settings give me twinges of deja vu - I've seen, met, and known people just like these.
All in all, a very good collection of stories. ( )
