If you're going to read one Steve Almond story

it should be "Run Away, My Pale Love," which is just way brilliant, though I had no idea it was the same character as "My Life in Heavy Metal" and I'm trying not to think about whether that makes me like the story less, because it's not really the character that makes the story, but the intensity of the language and its depiction of the terrors and banalities of desire.
