Must add this to my to-read list. If you haven't, you should try her other short stories -- my top picks are "Xingu" and "Roman Fever." And if you're a fan of short stories, you should read Saki -- great plot twist, and some of them are laugh-out-loud funny.Karenlibrarianhttp://karensbooksandchocolate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-20314880069753186762010-01-25T07:57:17.916-05:002010-01-25T07:57:17.916-05:00LOL!

In fact until I read your blog, I didn't know she wrote any.<br /><br />Is Beau Kitty named after the stuffed animal on Laverne and Shirely? Are you even old enough to know Laverne and Shirley?Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.com
