Wonderful stories. In the Penny Arcade is certainly the short story with the most wonder. But, August Eschenberg, the first story, is the best. However, I would be remiss not to mention A Day in the Country. It appears to be a simple narrative, but it is not. The revealed darkness of a disturbed mind has inspired me to write a similar story of my own. Snowmen, and The Sledding Party are also wonderful observations of human behavior. Snowmen has its air of wonder. The Sledding Party draws one inside another troubled mind. I certainly recommend this book and any of the other books by this author.
