If the heart is lean stories
The sixteen stories in Margaret Luongo's If the Heart Is Lean etch sharp portraits of people in odd and sometimes surreal situations who thus have the opportunity to view their lives from a unique perspective. In "Chestnut Season," a young woman stalled in traffic sees her future self parked beside her; in "Boyfriends," the recently deceased protagonist endures eulogies by her ex-beaus and husbands; in "Mrs. Fargo," a young man faces a reckoning with his first-grade teacher, a suicide, for whom he's harbored a crush and whom he hopes to impress with his worldly su.

- "The stories range from the chilling-"Embankment" is as terrifying as a classic horror flick-to the surreal, as in "Pedagogy," in which a professor boils his head to make a point. There's humor in "Boyfriends," as a dead woman listens in on the eulogies of her ex-husbands and boyfriends. Luongo shifts her tone from tenderly disaffected to sweetly hopeful in "Cake," the tale of a shy friendless woman who, recently out of an unhealthy relationship, begins to connect with her coworkers."
