New Best Friends. Alice Adams. Resonated in the 80s and even now. I was that eager young wife. I still remember the feeling of loss.

The Fourth State of Matter - Jo Ann Beard
Literary Non-Fiction, so compelling

Anything by Amy Bloom but especially the collection A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You

Lorrie Moore - People Like That Are the Only People Here

For pure horror, The Bees by Dan Chaon

I could name so many more. Short Stories are my favorite.

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, Hemingway.
