"Kasman's collection offers a sharp, sometimes eccentric, often hilarious vision of modern life. Don't let the chipper, chin-up naivete of her characters fool you; these are no Pollyanna stories. Inside each one lies a crystalline shard of understanding: of the desperation that crouches in the heart of every human, of the dizzying gap between what we want and what the world will give us." - Anna Leventhal, author of Sweet Affliction "The characters in Shari Kasman's funny and perfectly off-kilter stories are naĂ¯ve to a fault, but they're all so sweetly sincere that I couldn't help cheering on their bizarre pet projects and goofy aspirations and, especially, their fumbling efforts at connection with each other. Everything Life Has to Offer is a heart-melting read and a hell of a good time." - Jessica Westhead, author of And Also Sharks "Whether it's about a lucky radio contest winner who selects the DJ to accompany her on her prize trip or a surgery addict or a late whistler, the stories in Shari Kasman's debut are little bursts of ribald joy and pure mischief. She delightfully ridicules the modern idiom in all its manifestations." - Jeff Parker, author of Where Bears Roam the Streets
