Two of the stories included in this collection ("A Perfect Day for Banannafish" and "For Esme with Love and Squalor" are among my very favorite pieces fiction. There is something so poignant about these two stories that touched me deeply. There is no author that writes mental illness with more authenticity or expresses internal conflict, anguish, and unhappiness better.
