First, I found this book a little dull.
The first story "Something You Have to Live With" deals with a classical crime. It is about a woman, who is alone in a house by night and then the bad boys come.
The second little story "A Curious Suicide" is a bit confusing at the beginning, but when you've read a couple of pages, you will realize it's a very crazy and thrilling story.
But I think that last is the best of these short stories "Broken Glass". It deals about an old man who lives in a ghetto and who leads a hard life there. It show the bad side of America which hardly anybody knows.
