[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading Curtis Sittenfeld’s new short story collection Show Don’t Tell. I’m four stories in and loving it so far! I think I’m about 10 years younger than Sittenfeld, but I really connect to her characters. Their thoughts, feelings, and observations always resonate with me. Reading her work makes me feel so seen![/quote] That’s such an apt description of her writing. Her characters are usually flawed but compelling, and she captures the mundaneness of married life so well. [/quote] I’m not a short story fan, but wanted to read this book just to find out what happened to Lee Fiora from prep. I then went on to Hoover up the rest of the stories. I loved the themes Sittenfeld explores — marriage, yes, but also female friendship, parenting, work, fame, creativity, and privacy. She’s really a terrific writer , ina way that just sneaks up on you. [/quote]
