We love short story collections. We hope this doesn’t put us in the minority, because when authors do it well the books can be transcendent. Case in point, Curtis Sittenfeld’s latest is Show Don’t Tell. We didn’t find one story in there we didn’t like. Each feels like a breath of fresh aired emotional honesty, a glimpse into the lives of memorable characters at various turning points questioning their own choices. Join us to find out what made Curtis release this collection. And we sit down with Plot Twist, our first romance-based independent bookstore.
