At times I would have convulsions, and there would be other times when I would lie for days in a coma . . .

Two resourceful farmers, who like blueberries quite a bit, become rivals for the patch and expend considerable effort in attempts to acquire the blueberries. Means writes with economy in this piece, and he never lets his smooth style get away from him. It's funny. Wernick's story also is amusing, perhaps extraneous at times, but on the whole a dryly wise comment on how life she is lived in the U.S.A., where we learn love is a faith and marriage a chapel. "Birthday Letter" finds Allen Grossman...
