Three exquisite and hard-hitting stories make up this collection. These adjectives may seem contradictory, but for me they best describe Keegan's short fiction. Keegan is a brilliant writer; her stories so rich and yet quite short, the conjured world ...more | |

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.”

“Do you know a cure for me?"
"Why yes," he said, "I know a cure for everything. Salt water."
"Salt water?" I asked him.
"Yes," he said, "in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.”

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. There was a padlock and a chain upon the gate. I called in my dream to the lodge-keeper, and had no answer, and peering closer through the rusted spokes of the gate I saw that the lodge was uninhabited.

there! finally to the point for a change. :)

anyway, i haven't yet read that bio though i've been meaning to put it on my to-read list... fascinating that she made the murdoch comparison herself -- i'd agree that she has much more of a facility with story-telling because i think she's very versatile, whereas i have never read an iris murdoch novel that didn't end up being dense -- usually including a mental wrestling match of some kind. but i've read less of her because she isn't as consumable. my brain usually needs a break. :P
hello! you'll notice i tend to run on. :)

The other leads sound good too. I often find it sort of trying to read whole short story books by one author, but I imagine it's edifying and maybe I'll get better at it. Also, it's too hard to review an anthology on here!

I have that poster framed above my fireplace. :)
