It is always hard to put together a short story
collection. It is a notoriously tricky endeavor, since they all have their
unique voices and viewpoints, but I think this collection did a great job of
unifying all of these interesting stories into a cohesive whole.
What I think helped the most was the author’s voice.
It is strong throughout the collection, so that you feel like you are in good
hands as you read. All of them have their own characters’ voice, making each
story unique, but the narrative is what makes the collection flow together.
All of the stories are entertaining, offering an
inside look at beginning actors’ lives, but I especially enjoyed “The Audition”.
There was something very real to this one that struck me as different from the
others. There’s also an enhanced sense of urgency in this one that made it both
funnier and more desperate than the rest.
If you are looking for an interesting collection
that gives you an honest look at what being an beginning actor really means.
