I don't read new literature...just online opinion pieces usually followed by the opinions of valued Freepers.
I'm from the Deep South--favorite aunt in Milledgeville (clinical psychologist at the state hospital there) was a close friend of Flannery O'Conner. Have a love hate relationship with literature...particularly the short story.
I grew up in the gothic mood of South Georgia. Left as soon as I could for NYC (to escape the weight of this place).
Little did I know, there is no escape.
What is the hate part of your love/hate with short stories?
I really wish I could like Flannery O'Connor more, but I just can't.
Doesn’t NYC have a weight of it’s own?
