Give Me Fever

Date of Review:  May 11, 2000
Review: Two weeks ago I didn't know who Andrea Barrett was; now I can't understand why she isn't more well known. Her stories have appeared in STORY, BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES and she won the National Book Award in 1996. So much for a thriving literary...

  Nation: "In her new collection...she is as meticulous as any chemist, entomologist, or doctor...Barrett renders the world as shifting, disappointing, and curiously baffling...The stories that take place in the past--half of this collection--suffer from stumbles into prissy formalism...Barrett shines when she dives into the bloody soup of human frailty...Science, for Barrett, is not the unalloyed discipline of discovery and patience. In these stories it is a hell of despair and rivalry...The writing...is also a science, shot through with the blaze of discovery."
