From a description of Show Don't Tell by Curtis Sittenfeld ...“If you’re not into short stories, you’re just reading the wrong ones."
I like short stories although I definitely don't want a steady diet of them. Do you read short stories? Is there a collection or author that you like particularly?

I like short stories although..."
That is a funny quote. As with poetry, I enjoy short stories in small doses.
I gave both of these 4*:
How to Pronounce Knife: Stories by Souvankham Thammavongsa
Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx
These 2 jumped to mind easily, there probably are others.
Thanks, have added the Knife one to my over-burdened wish list.It, too, liked that Annie Proulx collection. I have another of hers on hand that I keep meaning to get to: Bad Dirt. I don't know that this is the season as I've already pencilled in my "over 50 titles when 25 is probably my limit" list.
