Normal Like Us: Stories

If the big question is What is normal? then the big answer has to be Certainly not us! But Peterson isn't concerned with norms. What he wants us to know is that the world is full of wonder and mystery and surprises. We just have to be paying attention. From ice fishing on a couch, to dogs that are angels, to modern-day fertility rites, these stories will thrust you into the deep messiness of life and yet somehow you'll come away feeling hopeful. In this, the toughest of forms, Peterson excels.

5Great Read  May 09, 2008
By Heather "Heather"
Leif Peterson takes the events of everyday life and make us see that they really are special and that we should pay more attention to them. I especially enjoyed the stories "Jesus' Twin" and "Normal Like Us". Read this collection of short stories and you won't be disappointed.

5Exceptional!  Mar 20, 2008
By Janis Fox Walburn
I loved reading these unusual and surreal tales of this so called "normal" life.
Each story disturbingly normal that we see ourselves in life's routine. Yet we are pleasantly
surprised by how much magic surrounds us, if only we would pay a little more attention to the details.
I loved this set of short stories, except the part of the bunny bashing in Jesus' Twin - that was tragic and a bit twisted - my favorite story was Angels Don't Sleep.
I am eagerly waiting for his next novel.

5anthing but normal  Mar 10, 2008

This collection of short stories written by Leif Peterson is a combination of brilliantly written insights into everyday life experiences. Anyone that enjoys intellectual insight combined with great reading and simple truths will enjoy every chapter.
