(4) YA In four novellas, each more successful than the previous one, Nayeri presents an unconventional take on various genres from the Western to science fiction to detective story and, finally, romantic comedy. Though it starts off slowly, this ambitious and intriguing project may find an audience if readers can patiently make it to the final two stories.
