Review Roundup
Adam Johnson's Fortune Smiles impresses with its masterful storytelling and deep emotional resonance, capturing nuanced human experiences with vivid prose. While some stories may appear lengthy or dense, Johnson's ability to weave intricate narratives and complex characters stands out. However, the collection's heavy themes might be too intense for some readers.
Who Should Read Fortune Smiles?
A reader who appreciates dark, captivating narratives with intricate character development, as seen in A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, will revel in Adam Johnson's Fortune Smiles. Fans of literary fiction that explores the human condition through a blend of poignancy and humor, akin to George Saunders' Tenth of December, will also enjoy this collection.
