Athletic Shorts: Six Short Stories by Chris Crutcher
4.0
I forgot that I hadn't reviewed this book of short stories yet, and wish I had done so already. Maybe it's time for me to take a short break from eating all of Crutcher's offerings so quickly...I am starting to merge some of the characters and towns in my mind. I like that he returns to familiar locations, but now I am struggling to keep them separate.
I know that I liked this book. I liked Angus Bethune, having met him already in Angry Management. I liked and was choked up by the final story of the book, about a young man who must face his own bigotry towards a gay man with AIDS. I remember that there was also a tragic story about a fatal boating accident, and a couple of stories about wrestling. It's a good book- read someone else's review if you want more details about the stories within.
