An engaging series of short stories by the author of The Ministry of Special Cases, this was an honorable mention for the Sophie Brodie Medal in 2013. The title story, named after the Raymond Carver story, portrays two couples, one Israeili couple, and one American, discussing who would save whom should the Holocaust come again. They do this while very high, and the story veers from humor to sadness. "Camp Sundown" involves a group of elderly residents of a strange sleepaway camp who decide that vigilante justice is called for when no one will believe their suspicions about a fellow camper.
This is a strong and interesting collection.
For the audio, each story has it's own narrator, and they all do a good job.
