Short stories enthusiasts will delight in Agnes McIntyreââ?¬â?¢s ââ?¬Å"A Mixed Bag,ââ?¬Â? a collection whose satisfying immediacy and vivid prose give the stories a sense of place. The sixteen pieces probe the essence of the human psyche, both in its strengths and frailties. Through a set of well-wrought characters, some revealing their idiosyncratic mannerisms, they explore a wide range of overarching themes ranging from relationships, friendships, love, loss, self-discovery, and social evils.
A beguiling tale starts this collection with a woman in her seventies revisiting her past and seeking revenge, but a look at her mirrored reflection unexpectedly turns her heart around. In another, two sisters have a bitter fallout after a painful betrayal that causes one to go into hiding to save her life from a potentially dangerous man. Travel and transformation are the overall theme in Holy Toledo, where, overwhelmed by the emotional weight of an impending divorce and tension at work, a woman in her mid-fifties flies down to Madrid, Spain, to unwind on a trip that turns out to be her saving grace.
The book further highlights sensitive and complex themes wrapped up in an engaging tale, as is in The Hatbox Case, where Gas, a retired police officer now turned private investigator uncovers a client�s seedy activities that had been hidden from the eyes of law enforcement.
Across the contents, the stories aim at educating their audience through constructing compelling moral arcs sometimes through shocking revelations as they draw to a close. For example, in Bright Skies, an overly pushy real estate agent gets the original owners of an old neighborhood talking, pointing them to something beyond the obvious, hoping to get back at a manipulative and calculating family member.
Perspectives change as the stories bud, revealing several fragmented individuals who struggle to make the right choices. The bookââ?¬â?¢s most worthy asset is its concise language evoking feelings and insight in readers. Their emotional resonance will leave you with much to digest, as with the diverse voices that vary from one piece to another just as the title suggests. Ultimately, ââ?¬Å"A Mixed Bagââ?¬Â? by Agnes McIntyre has something for everyone and is a triumphant story cycle.
