Rating: 5 out of 5

I've known this author as a funny, quick thinking, probable prankster for a while now.  This story, HANDS, is such a slow dance with soul, I could barely believe I had ever known him at all.  A view of how we used to be as humans in general, leaves the reader completely satisfied, yet longing. This touched me in a place and time so familiar, yet so far away, I had forgotten its very existence.  Like laying on a warm beach, Bunting washes the reader over and over with gentle waves of comforting warmth.At the same time that this story is such a departure from what I know about Bunting, I'm not really so surprised.  As a master of the short story, he can write almost anything and make it feel like a personal experience.  Even using the narrative, it feels like someone passionate about his subject matter, putting his arm around you on the front porch swing and speaking his story for you alone.I feel sorrow for the younger generations.  They can never remember what we used to be like as human beings.
