I was looking up the dead aunt story that Sam mentioned today cuz tho I luvs the George Saunders, I still haven't read Pastoralia (though I've read End of Firpo which is one of my all time fave stories) which is awful since his style is one I (try to) cop alllll the time. Anyway, the story is called "Sea Oak" and I found it (in full text!) at The Barcelona Review website. I don't know how much short fiction yall are into, but yeah, I highly recommend "In Persuasion Nation" (I have a copy if yall wanna borrow some time) and "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline."
So any other book recommendations? Tag it as "recommendation" when you write a post, and it'll be a fun reading list for when I get around to getting a library card here (I know, selfish selfish). Great first meeting today!
further reading: Jon; Adams; Bohemians; Chicago Christmas, 1984
(the last two are a little different than his typical tone, but perhaps more in line with typical New Yorker stuff?)
