A quick plug for Jhumpa Lahiri and Unaccustomed Earth, as I posted on my Goodreads.com page:
As the Pulitzer and many other accolades will tell you, a very talented writer whose work is void of immature characters doing immaturely self-destructive things--a rarity considering most of what I've read for this Masters class. Eight interconnected stories from differing POVs, none of them with a clunky sentence. Literature that is easy to read, not highbrow or condescending. Highly recommended. 30 editions since the 2008 publication date also shows you something. Very accessible.
I feel like I'll create something tonight, and not just do the business end of sending the stories out, but right now, after running around for the past few weeks, and the past few days, and the last 12 hours, non-stop, I need to re-charge the ol' batteries. I hope to post later that I got more creating done. If I don't, I didn't. That's bad.
