Donald Antrim's "Another Manhattan" is a short story I know I'll read again and again, just as I've repeatedly read William Gay's "The Paperhanger." Antrim's story was my introduction to his work, and because I so enjoyed it, I requested his memoir THE AFTERLIFE from the library. This book deals primarily with Antrim's relationship with his toxically alcoholic mother, and while it showcases his admirable skills as a writer, I just didn't dig it.
Having said that, I'm still very interested in reading more of his work, and plan to request THE HUNDRED BROTHERS next. Reviews sound exceptionally good.
