Toy Guns: Stories

Review from the Kansas City Star, Sunday, October 29, 2000 by John Mark Eberhart. Get Toy Guns literature books for free.
The trouble with didatic fiction is that the message sometimes overshadows the art. Once in awhile, though a writer gets the balance exactly right, and the result can be as engaging as it is instructive. Lisa Norris gets it right with Toy Guns, her debut collection of short stories and the winner of Helicon Nine Editions' 1999 Willa Cather Fiction Prize. Norris is fearless in her exploration of a disquieting subject: The almost casually brutal propensity for violence in contemporary American life. But she does it without sacrificing striking narratives and intriguing characters. "Interior Country," the opening tale, is a sort of "Thelma & Louise" s Check Toy Guns our best literature books for 2013. All books are available in pdf format and downloadable from rapidshare, 4shared, and mediafire.
