A bookstore opened in my town! Best day of 2023 hands down! A really good selection of books, diverse authors, solid sci-fi/fantasy, poetry and a lot of good romance authors mixed in with the fiction section. #shoplocal

This is for the short story, “The Red Convertible,” but I can guarantee the entire collection is worth reading. This story is part of Love Medicine. Erdrich is so clever in her connections. A fabulous storyteller.
Eudora Welty was born on this day in 1909.
"Edna Earle...never did get to be what you'd call a heavy thinker. Edna Earle could sit and ponder all day on how the little tail of the 'C' got through the 'L' in a Coca-Cola sign."
I‘d argue this US and Eurocentric collection is hardly the “world‘s” best. It isn‘t diverse in any way (only 3 of the 20 stories are written by women and there are few authors of color). The stories are definitely canonical and anyone with a large number of English classes in their background will have already read most of these.

My plans for New Year‘s Eve involve a roaring fire and a good book. Sorry not sorry!
Gorgeous selection of short stories, all intriguing, all intelligently crafted. Excellent debut and as for me, will pick up a hardcover copy. It‘s that good.
Ozzie has mostly let Gatsby be my reading companion but he‘s in it for these short stories.
Volt is a great collection of dark and gritty short stories by Alan Heathcock. It‘s been so long since I‘ve read this collection, I think I‘m due for another go around in the near future!
