Enchanting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I first read this wonderful collection maybe 5 years ago, and I still quote from it in conversation with friends. Caponegro has drawn such wonderfully immediate characters who inhabit a space of mind that resonates in dreamtime. A book to be experienced and savored. You will never be able to think of Jaguars (the car) quite the same way again!
Fiction of Irrealism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Caponegro's book contains a nice mixture of real and unreal, or perhaps 'irreal.' Especially effective are the title story and 'Sebastian.' Humorous and thoughtful: one of the best new voices in literature. (And this isn't just because she taught me in college...)

Laura Riding, if she were a dude.
Wonderful piece of work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I was exposed to Ms. Caponegro's work thanks to the wonderful book, "You've Got To Read This!", where writers share stories by other writers that inspired or moved them. The Star Cafe is a dazzling display of human mental interplay and inner mental workings. I greatly enjoyed it.
