Rock Springs: Stories
Richard FordJanice Obuchowski@allegra_hyde That end to Denis Johnson's "Car Crash by Hitchhiking": "And you, you ridiculous people, expect me to help you." I always think that swerve into the direct address is electric. Richard Ford does something similar in "Rock Springs," implicating the reader in this amazing way.
