Query: He's Lost His Title Belt

I am a huge fan of Jone's supreme first collection of stories, Pugilist At Rest. But with the competent Cold Snap and the completely lackluster, Sonny Liston Was a Friend of Mine, Jones seems to following the path of many great heavyweight fighters. Once the win the belt the get fat and lazy, in Jone's case he rehashes many old themes with language that tries to have the old zip but falls embarasingly short. The title story, Tarantula, and Mouses come close to what his genius used to be but even they have this forced quality that makes me want to beat the crap out of his editor.Someone should have told the champ not to step into the ring with these stories. I have faith that he can make a comeback, but, unfortunatley, with this recent collection mediocrity has knocked him down for the ten count. And I want my $$ back!!!
