Pieces Like Pottery Book Review

The longing to look away from Pieces Like Pottery is disturbing. This is because many of us would rather avoid the uncomfortable feelings evoked by the short stories of Dan Buri. Don’t misunderstand me, this review really is a positive appraisal of these grippingly enticing short stories of misery and regret.
 
Here are three examples:
 
Imagine trying to deal with your incapacitating grief when your dead child keeps showing signs that they might be alive.
 
What really drives a man to continue for years with his hum-drum job and routines regardless of mental and physical anguish?
 
Or how would you feel if everything wrong with your child (genetically and nurture-wise) has been deemed by society to totally be your fault as a parent?
 
Through many other unnerving themes, Pieces Like Pottery draws the reader in and makes it difficult to put the book down. Buri fills his collection of short stories with realistic characters and startlingly thought-provoking situations. A five out of five stars rating is well-deserved for excellent  story writing at its best.
