- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Solid, well-constructed stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a gorgeous collection of short stories. One of the two best collections I read this year. The other was Jhumpa Lahiri's Unacustomed Earth.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am about halfway through this collection of award winning short stories by Andrew Porter and so far it has been a pleasure reading them. I have been looking for great short stories and this collection, which explores surburban life in America, really captures the loss and isolation and sadness that surburban life may bring. The story, "The Theory of Light and Matter," which is also the title of the book, really shines, as does the opening story, "Hole." I look forward to finishing the book and hearing more from this great voice.
