Both stories springboard from what could be a serious topic (disenchantment with life, etc), into more humorous directions. In Firan's tale, Betty makes a bit of a blunder and the reader is left to wonder if it wasn't from subconscious desire for a bit of excitement.
"The Russian Fur Hat" is wonderfully paced, the emotions are palpable, and best of all, it's funny.
