レビュー

• This is a wonderful book that exceeded my expectations

  This is a wonderful book that exceeded my expectations. It is a collections of stories (four are different stories about one family; the others are not related to that family.) mostly about white people and their sometimes painful and just plain incompetently managed relationships. The characterizations are subtle and imaginative. There is one long story in the end that is about a relatively poor young man and his appalling but finally deeply respectful relations with some black people. this story blew me away by the subtlety of the relationships and the surprising outcomes. This author is greatly underappreciated.

• A New Addition to My Favorite Authors List

  Terrific book, and a new "favorite author" find in Allan Gurganus. White People is a book of short stories, but they read like a novel made up of letters and memories of members of the same family. Indeed, the human family. Gorgeous stuff. I'll be rereading this set of stories again.

• A Dud

  I bought this so long ago.. I loved Gurganus' "Oldest Living Confederate Wife", so I thought it would be a safe bet; I didn't like it at all. I didn't even finish reading it.

• Well worth reading! I enjoyed it very much and highly recommend.

  Very enjoyable reading. Reading Gurganus is like listening to Prine; incredible knowledge of human nature applied perfectly with humor. I saw myself in his stories as well as others whom I know.

• Nice book

  Interesting
