@vincentscarpa I really like "The Cure" and "The Country Husband." So many of his other stories make me wish I were reading William Maxwell or Grace Paley instead.

Happy pub day to Barbara Bourland, a novelist pal who writes some seriously great novels. The Force of Such Beauty is a fairy tale, of a sort, and is one hell of an indictment of global capital, celebrity culture, and misogynistic government policy. https://t.co/AvKfFXQD9I

Trouble: Stories

Patrick Somerville

@SamSamAllingham Patrick Somerville’s “English Cousin” and “Trouble and the Shadowy Deathblow” are both freaking hilarious. Danielle Evans is very funny, but her stories also kick you hard in the face. Lilian Li’s “Coach Ray” has an extremely funny, very memorable ending.
