Sunlight in the Dark

By Cathleen Schine
Twighlight of the Superheroes: Stories
by Deborah Eisenberg

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 240 pp., $23

Deborah Eisenberg's most recent collection of stories, Twilight of the Superheroes, is a tender, skeptical, inconsolable embrace of what cannot be changed. The six stories have an almost elegiac quality, if elegies were written for what comes next.
