Unk's Fiddle is one of those beautiful tragedies that we love to cry over and which also reveals a bit of human nature. Steve Burt's touching but not maudlin story leaves us satisfied but thinking ... Unk had a full life, but couldn' there have been more? ... In my opinion, a story that leaves us thinking is the best kind. -Liz Aleshire, Fiction Editor
