Still, more than one comment about how good the writing is may tempt me. I wish our library hadn't just shut down again.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-2552270401450907302020-11-18T08:14:59.148-05:002020-11-18T08:14:59.148-05:00I remember reading Bobbie Ann Mason back in 1982 a...I remember reading Bobbie Ann Mason back in 1982 and thinking, "Wow, she's a wonderful writer!" Like Jeff, I've read a number of Bobbie Ann Mason's books over the years .

I like Mason's writing, have read a number of her books (including this one).<br /><br />I'm up to the Pat Hobby stories (which I've read before but don't remember) in the F. Scott Fitzgerald collection. Hobby is a 49 year old Hollywood scriptwriter, a hack who has been around since silent movies (this is 1940; the last few of these were published posthumously) and is trying to hang on with one pathetic scheme after another. They move quickly.<br /><br />After your review last time, I am reading the Daniel Woodrell collection, THE OUTLAW ALBUM. You were right - "Uncle" is a tremendous story.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
