Review: Like a Champion by Vincent Chu

by MK French

Like a Champion is a collection of eighteen short stories about average people at different moments in their lives. The description for the collection notes "that moments of glory can happen when we least expect it," but don't think of this as the geeky kid getting a spectacular three-point shot in basketball. Yes, "Squirrels" does include literally that moment, but that isn't the point of the stories. It could be something smaller in scope, a victory that no one else might understand or know about.
