Late to the salon
We're overdue for a hairdo. No chance today, so we'll walk in the endangered sunshine instead.
Just finished Pamuk's "Snow", am rustling about for something to read. The pick: The Collected Stories of Edith Wharton. Her era was similar to ours, in many ways, and her writing is an acidic delight. I've never read any of her short fiction, just novels, such as The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, and The Custom of the Country, which was excellent. These short stories range from 1899 to 1937, and according to the introduction by Anita Brookner, offer a good sampling of Wharton's work.

WEll, get ready, because I just got another Pamuk novel - The Black Book - and a collection of Aussie writer Tim Winton's short stories!
Munro's work has grown on me over time, Kathy.
