Reviews for Big Cats
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this fast-paced short-story collection, Reinhorn lets you see both the façade a character presents and the woundedness beneath it, by showing the contrast between what people do and say, and what they’re secretly thinking and fearing. The stories have a confessional tone, giving the feeling of an actor in a movie speaking directly to the camera. Because there is little distance between narrator and reader, characters who are bewildered and deeply flawed also manage to become sympathetic.
