Brian's fiction is so good that it is always worth rereading. He's excellent when he describes the details of everyday life, the routine parts of our days doing errands, drinking coffee, encountering a friend, etc. I think when "Starting Out in the Evening" or maybe "The Dylanist" came out, one reviewer said something like it's the kind of book that affirms why we read novels. He can also be very funny.
