A short-story collection from the acclaimed author of The Great Believers
Named a must-read by the Chicago Tribune, O Magazine, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and The L Magazine Rebecca Makkai's first two novels, The Borrower and The Hundred-Year House, have established her as one of the freshest and most imaginative voices in fiction. Now, the award-winning writer, whose stories have appeared in four consecutive editions of The Best American Short Stories, returns with a highly anticipated collection bearing her signature mix of intelligence, wit, and heart. A reality show producer manipulates two contestants into falling in love, even as her own relationship falls apart. Just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a young boy has a revelation about his father's past when a renowned Romanian violinist plays a concert in their home. When the prized elephant of a traveling circus keels over dead, the small-town minister tasked with burying its remains comes to question his own faith. In an unnamed country, a composer records the folk songs of two women from a village on the brink of destruction. These transporting, deeply moving stories--some inspired by her own family history--amply demonstrate Makkai's extraordinary range as a storyteller, and confirm her as a master of the short story form. "Richly imagined."--Chicago Tribune "Impressive."
--O, The Oprah Magazine "Engrossing."
--Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Inventive."

Superb!!!!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 4)
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I purchased these beauties 6 months ago and they are still fluffy and firm. I'm amazed by the price point. I will definitely re-order for the guess bedroom.

Soft and comfortable, NOT firm.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Overall, these are comfortable pillows for the price, especially if you prefer something soft rather than firm.
The pillows arrived vacuum sealed, which is pretty standard. Once opened, they fluffed up well after some time and looked full enough to use. Right away, they felt soft and plush, and sleeping on them was comfortable from the first night. In terms of comfort and support, these pillows are definitely on the softer side. They work well for side and back sleeping if you like a pillow that you can sink into a bit. They’re not firm or dense, but they’re still cozy and gentle on the neck and head.
After a few days of use, I did notice that the pillows started to look a little lumpy and uneven. The filling tends to shift, so they don’t hold their shape perfectly and need regular fluffing. That said, even when they look a bit misshapen, they’re still soft and comfortable to sleep on. If you’re someone who needs strong neck support or prefers a firm hotel-style pillow, these may feel too soft. However, if comfort and plushness are your priority, they do the job well.
For the price, I think they’re a good value. They’re not luxury pillows, but they’re comfortable, decent quality, and perfectly fine for everyday use or a guest bed.

Would buy again
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
This is a good pillow if you like them firm and thin. I let them sit out for 2 days (per instructions).
After having them a week, they've perked up and became more full. I guess they just need time after being in the air. They are softer now but your head doesn't sink thru it. They are actually nice and soft to the touch as well.

On the thin side....
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These are described as "high loft" and "supportive", but they are fairly thin/flat and very soft.
