Review: I Am One of You Forever

I Am One of You Forever by Fred Chappell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I bought this book on spec (at dog-eared books, in Raleigh), and at first I thought it was a novel. Then I realized it was a collection of short stories, which seemed cute, but nothing much more. In fact, the constant barrage of visiting uncles (and aunt) were getting me confused. 

However, after having read the book I must say the stories are sticking with me. The magical realism, which seemed sort of cheap at first, also seemed to work. Maybe it's just because the last couple of stories were my favorite. Regardless, 4 stars.
