For quite a while I have resisted reading short stories. Not sure why. I guess I like the experience of a novel....the build up of plot, the thrill of getting to the climax, and to reaching the finish.
Well, with the advent of a favorite author, Jumpha Lahiri, coming out with a critically acclaimed collection of short stories, I am now a convert. I've read about half of them so far, but can combine that with another novel...which provides a very rich reading experience.
So, right now I am reading "Unaccustomed Earth" by Lahiri and "The Clothes on their Backs" by Linda Grant. Love them both!
