Some are like jewels while others leave me wanting more. My #1 fav short story of all time is "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver. That story just blows me away. I can't quote from it because I'd have to quote the entire story. I also love Lorrie Moore's book, "Birds of America". <br /><br />I read Jodi Angel ("You Only Get Letters From Jail" and "The History of Vegas"), but her stories kick me right in the heart and are extremely painful to read. I have both of her books. She's a survivor and writes like she's on fire and has to get it all down before the flames consume her. I'm going look for the author you mentioned. Be sure to let me know the story you loved. xoxoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-26016788264956230022013-08-17T07:29:15.870-05:002013-08-17T07:29:15.870-05:00i am dumbfounded by the excerpt from the story. s...i am dumbfounded by the excerpt from the story. stilled. filled with wonder and a desire to have more and maybe even to be healed. holy.<br /><br />i never got the short story before but just finished a book of short stories by Alistair Macleod. there is one, i will have to tell you which one, which blew my freaking mind. i read it to james while we drove to a neighbouring town 45 minutes away. i looked up and we were in the new town, and i unaware of any passing mile as i was so immersed in the story. by the end we were both weeping, almost shaking. he has the book. i'll ask him to remind me of the title.<br /><br />love to you and your poets heart:)))<br /><br />xo<br />erinerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-4279523723701415822013-08-15T18:26:48.347-05:002013-08-15T18:26:48.347-05:00OOOOHHHHH....
