Where is the love for Elizbath Bowen's "Mysterious Kôr," which some people think is the story about London during the blitz?

I'm surprised no one has pointed out how awesome Hawthorne's "Wakefield" is yet.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one.

Andre Dubus - either the big-ass collected stories or We Don't Live Here Anymore

I wonder how Josh is doing. These days he just writes about people he meets on the bus.

You mean collected short stories of one author, or anthologies?

J: I assume that's because he had mod powers on ILM, but not ILE

The former is what I had in mind.

But of course I won't turn down the latter.

I was going to mention "Fundamental Disch" but then I saw that I already did on this thread.
