Advice from Mavis Gallant, as an afterword to one of her collections: There is something I keep wanting to say about reading short stories. I am doing it now, because I may never have another occasion. Stories are not chapters of novels. They should not be read one after another, as if they were meant to follow along. Read one. Shut the book. Read something else. Come back later. Stories can wait.And I am certainly following these instructions. posted: 8:16:32 AM |
