Voices of Modern Life September 6, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an extraordnary collection of short stories from a writer with not just one great voice but a whole range of distinct voices. One feature of this collection of short stories is that each one of them come from entirely different perspectives and situations, told in an appropriately pitched voice, much like Hemingway's _In Our Time_, the modern standard for first publications of short stories. Like the previous reviewer says, Curnutt will, yes, be a name that you see again and again because, unlike much writing today, his doesn't seem to suffer from the corporatate dumbing-down that is so rife in American publishing today. His spare but energetic style is so original, it would seem impossible to market like the newest flavor of toothpaste or a new and improved facial tissue. It is the real deal. Read this book.
A great first book.... September 22, 2003

Kirk Curnutt is gonna be a name lots of people will know one day. His debut collection of stories, "Baby, Let's Make A Baby," is a great mirror into the human condition. If you want a book that's easy to read, yet makes you think, this is the one for you. (Also, I think I should mention that I was just with Kirk at the Southeastern Independent Booksellers confab, and the women there were just falling all over him. I was impressed, it was like being with a literary version of George Clooney).
