review 1: This short story by Andrew Kaufman moves as swiftly as the errant vehicle approaching the other on the deteriorating, twisting road. In just a moment the driver's life is changed; spared injury himself, he is horrified to see the other car spin out of control and over an embankment, landing far below. Can he help the occupants? Is it too late? Or will he leave the scene, untouched, but scarred in memory? Kaufman does not disappoint: his on-the-edge story telling has an echo of Hitchcock's style in Desolation Road.
review 2: Very short, yet very good. After reading Kaufman for the first time via his second novel, I did not think twice about buying his other two works. This short story alone justified my purchase. With the opening sentence, one can only gues... mores where the story was going. The surprising and tragic end elicited such shock; it tore at me! All of ten pages, with the events playing out in five different locations, and a real good plot; add to this that I gave him four stars for his second novel...well, long or short, Andrew Kaufman is a great storyteller. less
