Review: Six Ironic Tales
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 5, 2013
In The Liar and Other Stories, McFarland makes excellent use irony, finding an unexpected reversal for each of the six tales.  But what I like best about McFarland as a writer is his tight use of language, giving us a novel's worth of story in a few short pages.  There is strong writing here.  In The Liar, and in his earlier collection, 50/50, McFarland demonstrates that his is a voice to watch.  I'm eagerly looking forward to his next collection.
