Short Stories...by Raymond Carver, Dorothy Parker, David Foster Wallace, John Updike





There are a few short story collections sprinkling my book collection, but I very rarely commit myself to reading them. They are generally filler, picked up between books and before bedtime when I'm in need of a distraction or my senses need to be dulled towards sleep.
Raymond Carver, however, is an exception. Carver has the ability to captivate me. His ability to turn everyday life into a grandiose experience calls to grab a cup of hot tea and settle in. Which is what I did, multiple nights in a row.
That led to turning to other old favorites...perhaps stories shall be turning up on my list more frequently.
