Pretty good overall. Three i thought were noteworthy:
A Father's Story, Andre Dubus
Lena, Mavis Gallant
Morrison's Reaction, Stephen Kirk
though if anyone can explain the ending to Morrison's Reaction i would aprreciate it.

One of these days ill read a B.A.S.S. where i love every story and then ill have found an author to follow.
