A depressing collection.......2007-07-08
I had to read a bunch of stories out of this book for a college course. Most of the stories are super depressing. I guess that reflects on American society, but I can only take so much. It's like watching the news, but more literary.
This is a Terrific Collection .......2006-04-29
For years I have been buying _Best American Short Stories_ and have oftened wondered how some of the stories have earned their spots in the book. Finally, I bought this _Scribner's_ collection and have a collection that is worth reading. Althought I don't like every story in the book, I'm finding that about two-thirds of them are truly excellent. Someday when I teach creative writing again, I will use this collection as a textbook. The real benefit that this book provides is the opportunity to read some of the best stories of recent years by some of the best-known writers of our time. It's a cream-of-the-crop experience. P.S. I bought it for five bucks from the bargain shelf at Borders.
Buy it for all your writer friends!.......2005-11-22
I was asked to read this book for a course on teaching creative writing. This is the book for teachers who believe students can learn to write quality literature by reading quality literature. Moreover, for teachers who read closely, each story can teach a lesson. Once these techniques have been discussed and discovered, students/writers can try them for themselves. The students are "learning to dissect without murdering."
Even if you're not teaching, though, this is an amazing collection of stories. And it's a bargain!

A Treasure Chest Of Short Fiction.......2003-03-06
I was introduced to this anthology in a writing course. While compulsory reading is seldom as enjoyable as elective reading, I found myself returning to this collection of short stories long after the course ended. Stuart Dybek's "Pet Milk", a warm and rich introspection on the transition from childhood to adulthood, got me hooked and I soon read every story in this collection. Anyone who enjoys good writing but struggles to find time to read, or who appreciates finely crafted short fiction will enjoy these short but interesting stories. Highly recommended.

A rather banal bunch of blathering postmodern bathos.......2005-04-30
An anthology with a few good authors like Barthelme, Angela Carter, Borges, Isaac Babel, etc., rounded out by a preponderance of pretty mediocre, boring post-modern short stories that rely a bit too much on gimmicks and metafictional concepts. But if you're going to charge $25+ for a paperback, even publishers are smart enough to make it seem a bit substantial. However,the reviews on the back cover are all from university professors, so it seems this book has been marketed as a college textbook. Unfortunately, the models here are more likely to choke creativity than inspire it. It has mock-Miro cover art to buttress the idea that the writing contained within is both unconventional and intriguing. Somebody forgot about that adage about the lack of a correlation between the content of a book and how it's bound. How does that saying go again?
a lovely guide to the underside of contemporary fiction.......2004-05-29
This text has a very nice selection of offerings from some writers that you might not ordinarily encounter. As a primer to a more experimental fiction tradition, it works very nicely. Fits well into a fiction workshop, too, as it's not too pricey and packs a lot of bang in their for yr buck.
Book Description
In this one volume, readers have access to the two decades of Hoosier mythology created by Michael Martone, one of Indiana's most recognized voices. This book collects work from Martone's first five books: Alive and Dead in Indiana, Safety Patrol, Fort Wayne Is Seventh on Hitler's List (IUP, 1990, 1992), Pensées: The Thoughts of Dan Quayle, and Seeing Eye. Virtually all of the stories in this "double-wide" collection speak to the Hoosier experience and imagination. Places like Martone's hometown of Fort Wayne, as well as Peru, Elkhart, and Indianapolis, and narrators such as Colonel Sanders, Alfred Kinsey, and James Dean's high school English teacher all come to life with the author's trademark blend of irreverent humor and incisive reality.
From
The Indianapolis Star
Martone...writes in a clean, concise style--no superfluous purple prose in sight--yet his words extract meaning and wit from minutiae other authors gloss over...Martone's Indiana is both wholly familiar and mysterious. He seamlessly blends fact with fiction as he acquaints readers with gangsters, educators, farmers, students, Alfred Kinsey, even Colonel Sanders, and discovers the unearthed depths of Indiana...all of the tales in the book are worth lingering over. "Double-Wide" is a must not only for Hoosier readers, but also anyone interested in exploring Indiana's cultural landscape. -- Becky Armoto, July 15, 2007

Lovely Little Book.......2006-06-30
I'm a little disturbed by the previous post. As a writer, I find it absurd that I must be a drunk, wracked with insecurities, or tortured by my religious quest in order to write affecting fiction. This is an old ideal perpetuated by people who romanticize the writing life, most of whom have never lived it. The point of the book is to offer small meditations on writing and the ACT of writing. I found most of them to be insightful and inspiring. There are plenty of books on how writers abuse and torture themselves. Trust me--plenty of 16 year-old aspiring writers read them and then think that is how they must live in order to write "true" fiction. It's ok to be average (not that I think most of the contributers are) and a writer. And just because you are average, doesn't mean you will write average fiction. It's a beautiful book. Buy it.
All thumbs.......2006-06-16
This book about writing rules of thumb can be summed up in four tidy rules:
Rule #1: Teach
Rule #2: Don't leave the house (except to teach)
Rule #3: Drink lots of coffee
Rule #4: Lead a careful life
This is not a book about writers as writers; this is a book about writers as editors - most are creative writing teachers - which explains the scholarly rather than magical tone of their submissions.
They talk about how, by either breaking, bending or obeying writing rules, their creative work was inspired. No one has a `fixation' of losing themselves in composing prose. No. The one life rule they all share - which becomes an unwritten writing rule - is to be very sure of themselves.
None confess to the alcohol-induced mania of a Raymond Carver (Rule: Be an alcoholic) or the "Christ-haunted" conflicts of Flannery O'Connor (Rule: Be tormented) or the hardscrabble childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder (Rule: Be poor) or the wunderlust of Ernest Hemingway (Rule: Be adventurous). They are very normal, sensible, coffee-drinking people (Rule: Be ordinary).
It's a reference book suitable for the classroom. And on those merits and its excellent production, it earns five stars. On its exploration of rules in the "bloody bullring" it earns only one. The rule of thumb regarding averages, then, gives this tidy work three stars.
Quality!.......2006-05-21
I love this book, which I happened upon at Barnes & Noble. The feel and aesthetics drew me to it, and the font and layout won me over. Like so many of these types of books for and by writers, I figured there was a likelihood that much of the writing inside would be of dubious quality or real merit, and contributed by the workshop people that give that stereotype its oomph.
Instead, 98% of the writings are intelligent, interesting, and with unique voice. And there are a handful--maybe 9 or 10--that connect personally to me in a way of such value that I sort of hugged the book in recognition and gratefulness.
I love this book and find it unique in its genre, standing head and shoulders above most others in quality, merit, intelligence, and humor.
OK, but not for reading up on specifics on the craft.......2006-05-01
Rules of Thumb has a neat layout and odd size that makes it a great coffeetable book. Unfortunately, that's not what I was looking for.
This is not a book for specifics on the craft. The 73 notations by published authors in this book are everything serious writers will hear at writing meetings, conferences and critique groups. They are, in some cases, inspirational, but don't offer the specifics new writers need for structure and development.
This might work as a nice, general gift if you have a friend who is a writer and you don't know which books on structure they might like. If you are a serious writer, I recommend spending cash first on Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell. It's much more specific and incredibly witty.

Fun romp through mythical Hoosier land.......2002-01-03
I was fortunate to catch Martone at a reading in Florida. It was great fun blending of reality and fiction, and as he said, when you don't have plot or character, you have to have humor. My favorite attractions include the Trans-Indiana Mayonnaise pipeline, the mount Etna active Volcano, and off course Eli Lilly Land ("Its a Prozac world"). The list is however incomplete, and I hope in future editions he will include the David Letterman weather station, where tapes of Letterman's early broadcasts are played 24 hours a day. There should be something to humor everyone in this book, and the cover is quite attractive - having been designed by the architect Michael Graves.

A terrific book from a terrific teacher.......2007-09-16
Michael Martone was my favorite professor well over a decade ago at Syracuse University, and reading this unique short story collection reminded me why he was so popular. It's clever, witty, entertaining, warm and vaguely eccentric, just like him.
Deja vu all over again!.......2007-01-10
In this entertaining read, Michael Martone slowly reveals himself in a series of Acknowledgements that begin with "Michael Martone was born in..." That is, until information starts to conflict, and the reader is not sure which information is biographical and which is fiction! It makes for an interesting read that is like looking at a collage and figuring out the whole story. You've never had an experience like reading this book, where each chapter makes your brain interrupt with, "Haven't I read this before? Oh, wait, this just started with the same sentence..."
Personality Crisis.......2006-04-25
I read Michael Martone's book knowing him only as the author of the hilarious spoof BLUE GUIDE TO INDIANA. Like my wife, he was a graduate from Indiana University in Bloomington, famous as the place where the cult film BREAKING AWAY was filmed, a fact to which Martone alludes in his imaginative recap of the different paths memory takes us when we are asked for a simple contributor's note. It is difficult to convey the skill with which Martone parlays the tried and true formula of the contributors note into what must be dozens of short story masterpieces on the order of Borges and Chekhov. There are two kinds of contributors' notes, he claims, one the traditional resume kind in which you say where you were born, tell where you teach, and perhaps add the name of your latest publication. Sometimes would-be wise guys try to torque up the contributor note by writing something surreal, something with the flavor of the "non sequitur" in it.
"These clever digressions always strike Martone as simply that--clever digressions--and it seems that feeling is shared by the majority of contributors who remain loyal to the understated and, one might say, elegant form that encapsulates a charming modesty and simple efficiency." You can't pin down slippery Michael Martone to one point of view or another, for he deliberately tries to blur the lines between fact and fiction, so that by the end of his book, we know less about him than we did before, except for one thing, that before reading MICHAEL MARTONE I thought he was gay, and here he makes it amply clear that he is heterosexual in a big way. There is also a blurring of the boundaries between celebrity and obscurity, so that the poignancy of the contributors' note, in which basically nobodies are always trying to link themselves to figures of greater note, is analyzed and parsed. Martone, for example, used to be compared to Paul McCartney in looks, and now he finds people saying he looks more like Joe Mantegna, while when he looks in the mirror he sees Fred Flintstone, particularly Flintstone's primitive five o clock shadow.
You can't believe how many ways he finds to spruce up his one trick pony of a book. He has the protean imagination of Aesop coupled with the postmodern flair of Shelley Jackson, and yet if there is a fault to be found with the book, it's that halfway through I got a little bored, despite the continual fireworks of prose and great gusts of Johnsonian high humor. Otherwise I wish it had been longer, but, everything else being equal, it might have been a bit shorter. My students love the essay in which he discusses the first time he had sex with a woman and then gets caught by his own mother, three times, as if once was not enough. Students love it and, I imagine, in the classroom he must be a hoot.
Art!!!.......2005-12-21
This is a brilliant and unusual book. Extremely well-written, more of a fine work of literary art than a narrative. Mind-bending multiple views of Martone's real and/or imagined lives, written in 2-3 page faux contributor's notes.
An interesting, hilarious, and bizarre collection of short stories .......2005-11-03
This has to be one of 2005's best, most interesting and hilarious collections of short stories, not only because of its bizarre, deconstructionist format, but --- for true lovers of literary fiction --- its unique narrative as well.
Presented as 190 pages of "contributor's notes," one "vita," one "about the author" and an "acknowledgement," MICHAEL MARTONE tells of the many unrelated lives of various Michael Martones, most born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, most with some connection to literature, and most with adoration, praise and recognition of Michael Martones' mothers. Close readers will note that the number of "contributor's notes" in the table of contents do not match the actual content of the book, and there is even "a contributor's note" hidden among the stories in the collection. Collection? Novel? Memoir? Biography? Autobiography? Autobiographies? Metafiction? New realism? It is hard to tell, really, what this book is, though radical, alternative press FC2 assures the reader that the book --- and it is a book --- is indeed fiction. The author writes that many of the "contributor's notes" have been previously published; a list of journals is provided.
So who is the real Michael Martone? After enjoying the first few "contributor's notes," the reader soon learns an important lesson, one that makes the book all the more compelling, and one that may just be the key to solving the mystery of life and the problem of identity: fact and fiction cannot be separated. From the notes, both funny and touching, it is learned that the real and fictional Martones were first published in Life magazine, worked for the Gambino family, had mothers who died young and lived long, healthy lives, met other people named Michael Martone (though Martone's father assured Michael that he was the only Michael Martone), had a connection to the Kinsey Report, were mistaken for both John Gotti, Fred Flintstone and Paul McCartney, worked at International Harvester, taught at Harvard, married and divorced many times, suffered numerous maimings, suffered a Catholic education, worked the night shift at a hotel where Vernon Jordan was shot, purposely injected untruths in journals that have published his stories, obsessed over water glasses while organizing literary readings, had John Barth as a mentor, was photographed by Jill Krementz, was a childhood TV star, and turned into a bug.
In re-reading MICHAEL MARTONE, one discovers that the format of the book permits accidental chapter skipping so the reader may find other Michael Martones hidden among the ones already discovered.
While all of the "contributor's notes" are ironic and worthwhile reading, one standout concerns a university lesson in which each student is a country and must manage the politics, economy, and future of that country. Michael Martone is a small third-world country so gripped by war, pollution and famine that he disappears (leaving for a drink of water!) and does not return, thus proving the predicted outcome of the professor's lesson: "No one even noticed as a whole nation vanished."
After reading twenty or so times the identical opening line of each chapter --- "Michael Martone was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana..." --- readers will find that they begin to mentally replace Michael Martone's name with their own, following the introductions with their own life details. Brandon M. Stickney was born in Lockport, New York, where he attended public school before going to college to become a journalist. Timothy McVeigh was born in Pendleton, New York, and attended public schools before joining the Army. Stickney and McVeigh's lives intersected when McVeigh killed 168 people and Stickney wrote a book about him.
While I, your reviewer, have socialized and exchanged correspondence with a few of the real people Michael Martone uses as characters in these "contributor's notes," including Jay McInerney (his third sudden cameo as a character in a fiction this year, after Rick Moody's THE DIVINERS and Bret Easton Ellis's LUNAR PARK), Joyce Carol Oates (her first appearance as a character), and David Kaczynski (the Unabomber's brother), this reviewer has not previously read any fiction by Michael Martone. Though, after reading MICHAEL MARTONE and being gripped by the author's prose, I will read his other books and hope that, someday, some way, I, Brandon M. Stickney (the M. stands for Michael), will have the honor of being mentioned in a future story by Michael Martone. In fact, since Martone has been known, like Edgar Allan Poe, to review his own books under assumed names, I feel that we may have already met.

Fort Wayne is Seventh on Hilters List- what a book.......2003-12-02
Michael Martone did a wonderful job when writing this book. He puts a lot of imaginative details into this writing. As you are reading the story seems to come alive. He adds many detailed and interesting details.
This book is composed of many short stories about Indiana. Martone adds some of the most different characters. In the story Fort Wayne is Seventh on Hitler's List, Martone talks about his grandfather and how he keeps many scrapbooks from the WWII era. Martone travels through the scrapbooks, and talks about all the pictures, but more importantly why his Grandfather was so obsessed with this era. In a way it seems that Martone himself becomes obsessed as well.
Over all, this book allows you to be creative and travel to a place where you may have never been before. It was an excellent read!
More then just another Indiana story..........2003-11-21
Michael Martone, a former resident of Fort Wayne is the author of Fort Wayne is Seventh on Hitler's List. A collection of short stories about the famous, and the not so famous, Indiana residents and the lives that they lead. Each story has many humorous facts, and confusing fiction intertwined to make this a very unique book.
There are 17 exceptional selections throughout the book, and each has a great plot, with complex characters that show amazing depth. There is one particular story that shows one man's compassion for another human being. Though there are not any names used, the personality of the main character in "Pieces" is apparent. He is a drifter, who sleeps in his car, and travels around the country cooking chicken for restaurants that are willing to buy his recipe. The story entails the journey of this man and a female hitch hiker. This short story as well as the others are well worth reading. As I stated before, the complexity of the characters in each short story are outstanding. In the story "Everybody Watching and the Time Passing Like That" it shows the impact on a teacher with the death of legend James Dean. The story of a widow, longing for her soldier to come home, clings for a certain closure in the story "Dear John." This is an exceptional book that not only entertains, but informs the readers as well.
Being a resident of Indiana, this book gave me a sense of pride. It seems as though the reader can travel from town to town with each story. As a resident from Indiana myself, the towns that are listed in each story are very familiar. Such as Santa Claus, French Lick, and Muncie, which are listed in the story "Three Postcards from Indiana." This is a wonderful book that any Hoosier should be proud to read.
