ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD - E.L. Doctorow

I usually love E.L.Doctorow but this section of short stories didn't do it for me.

They are culled from his entire career and I have the feeling

that they are the ones that have not made it to the starting lineup in previous collections.

I couldn't get into any of the stories, (I didn't get "Loon Lake" either so its probably me), he is a great writer but I'm missing something here.
