I’ve been reading a collection of short stories by Lee Smith. Me and My Baby View The Eclipse. Good stuff! I read her novel, Saving Grace, while we were vacationing at the beach. I love everything by Lee Smith. She writes about real people. Not just how she thinks real people live, but how they really live. I enjoy the occasional novel about politicians, debutantes and doctors, but I find myself lured toward meaty novels about common people that could be living right next door to me. I can connect wholeheartedly with these stories–not necessarily stories with extreme plots. I just love reading a book for the writing and nothing else. I’m a sucker for descriptive language. Give me a Faulkner novel and some time to actually read it, and I’ve died and gone to heaven.
