SPEAKING WITH THE ANGEL: Original Stories

Edited by Nick Hornby

Riverhead Books, 233 pages, $12 paper

Nick Hornby, best known for his novel “High Fidelity,” has assembled 12 first-person narratives from some of the hippest writers around–Melissa Bank, Roddy Doyle and Zadie Smith, among them–into this thoroughly engaging anthology. Proceeds from the book benefit two schools for autistic children. Hornby’s son is autistic and Hornby’s moving introduction to the book alone is worth the cover price.
