I know! It's brutal. And yet a very enjoyable (at least in the artistic sense) story
Ooops. Sorry about the Lorrie Moore Anne Lamott confusion. But thanks for reminding me about Aimee Bender.
Oooh, I must get this book. And also some Lorrie Moore (any recommendations?). Short stories are perfect hammock fuel for the summertime.
Well, that was one of the most horrifying sentences I've ever read...
