Some reading:
- "Blood" by Roddy Doyle in the book Stories, edited by Neil Gaiman. Strongly written, evocative, ends on a strong turn - good job!
- "Fossil Figures" by Joyce Carol Oates in the same collection. Extremely well written, great details, strong emotional beat, establishes a theme and sticks to it. The first half is the strongest; the rest loses the narrative power but still remains strong.
- "Stone Mattress" by Margaret Atwood in The New Yorker. Very well done. Maybe one of my new favorites from her. Here's an interview with her about it.
- Passionate Minds - Women Rewriting the World by Claudia Roth Pierpont. I picked this up in a Daytona Beach used bookstore. First chapter I read was about Gertrude Stein, because hello, Midnight in Paris has me thinking about her and Alice and Paris, and their open house, and how their lives were.
