[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I loved Olive Kitteridge; this is the sort of linked, portmanteau short story collection that I love. I have tried Alice Munro but can't get into it. Sigh. I know I'm missing something good but can't help feeling that the period of acclimation to plot, characters, etc. is just too much for me. [b] It's my failing.[/b][/quote] meh, you're just not into it. No failing there. (And I'm a short story writer.) But, if you liked the linking stories of Olive Kitteridge (I loved that too!), try Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan and The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman. Both feature linking short stories. [/quote]
