Review: A bit too vague in parts, but still a good read

Scribner's short stories are short - usually very, very short.  This one is a little bit longer than those I've read of his in the past and it really benefits from the additional length.Usually I feel like I've been dropped in the middle of a story and have an unclear idea of what is going on - that happens less here.  Scribner still doesn't do a good job of fully explaining his world (why did the narrator lose the ability he regained via Fantos?  What was the bartender's ability?), but this is still a satisfying read.
